The nature of Sukh Sagar (ocean of bliss) is beyond measure. A saint requires words, and a king requires wealth.

Kabir, through this insightful couplet, first sets a high bar, noting that the bliss of the ocean of happiness is beyond human grasp. He then pivots to a pragmatic observation: while the saint requires words for teaching and guidance, the king requires material wealth to maintain power. The message is that every path, whether spiritual or worldly, demands its specific tools and resources.
