अवगुन कहूँ शराब का , आपा अहमक साथ। मानुष से पशुआ करे दाय , गाँठ से खात॥ 40॥
Kabir
Meaning

The Shayar speaks of the faults of wine and the ego, and also the behavior of man who treats humans like beasts and eats with a knot.

Explanation

When Kabir shares this couplet, he is tackling two profound aspects of the human condition: the intoxicating nature of worldly pleasures and the corrosive power of ego. The wine here is a powerful metaphor, not just for liquor, but for the intoxicating illusion (maya) of life that blinds us. Similarly, the 'aapā' represents that inflated pride which degrades human interaction, making us act beastly. Through this sharp observation, Kabir guides us that until we confront and subdue our inner ego, we will remain trapped in crude, animalistic behavior towards one another.
