Do not be misled by someone merely carrying religious texts, as hypocrites often wander around disguised as wise old sages or preachers.

This powerful couplet is a sharp critique of superficiality. Amrut Ghayal warns us not to be misled merely by outward displays of knowledge or tradition. The 'book' represents superficial learning or dogma, while the 'hypocrites' (paakhandi) symbolize those who merely wear the costume of tradition without genuine conviction or moral depth. It is a call to look beyond the façade and see the true nature of people.
