पाँच पहर धन्धे गया , तीन पहर गया सोय। एक पहर भी नाम बीन , मुक्ति कैसे होय॥ 209॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Five watches have been spent in vain, and three watches spent in sleep. How can liberation be attained by merely chanting the name for a single moment?
Explanation
Kabir emphasizes that the majority of our lives are spent on vain pursuits and deep sleep. He points out that when only a mere moment remains for remembering the Divine Name, achieving liberation seems impossible. His message is a powerful call to dedicate every single moment to the remembrance of the Lord's name.
