High waters cannot stay high; they settle down below. Let those who are low fill their thirst, and let those who are high remain thirsty.

This couplet beautifully captures the concept of humility and the natural order of life. Kabir suggests that even high waters eventually settle down, symbolizing that arrogance and power are temporary. The lesson here is that we should focus on supporting those who are lower or in need, helping them quench their thirst. True stability and lasting virtue come from humility and service, not from maintaining a lofty position.
