O lustful one, do not yet desire, nor take this poison. What is the life of a being, that it should remain in such rapture?

Kabir’s words serve as a sharp reminder that worldly desires are merely poisons that cloud the spirit. He advises us that attachment and lust are temporary intoxicants, distracting us from our true nature. The Shayar suggests that the purpose of life is not to remain in a state of worldly rapture, but to achieve profound, stable spiritual awareness.
