Without the guidance of the true Guru, the gods, men, and sages cannot find rest. They are preoccupied with counting Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, and all living beings.

When Kabir speaks of the necessity of the Satguru's guidance, he is addressing more than just the divine beings. He speaks to the human condition—the endless restlessness of the mind. The act of counting Brahma, Vishnu, and all life forms is a powerful metaphor for intellectualizing; it shows how we get trapped in complex systems of thought rather than realizing the simple truth within. Kabir's profound message is that true peace and rest are found not in external rituals or endless counting, but in the direct wisdom of the Guru.
