O sages, this path is long, distant, and fraught with perils, and there are many obstacles; please tell us how we can ever attain the rare sight of Hari (God).

Kabir addresses the challenging journey of life itself, describing it as a long, distant, and perilous path.

This couplet encapsulates Kabir's unique perspective, suggesting that the spiritual quest is not merely a physical journey but a deep internal struggle against worldly distractions. He prompts us to reflect on the difficulty of true spiritual realization.
