एक कहूँ तो है नहीं , दूजा कहूँ तो गार। है जैसा तैसा हो रहे , रहें कबीर विचार॥
— Kabir
Meaning
If I speak one thing, it is not; if I speak another, it is false. As it is, so the poet should contemplate.
Explanation
Kabir suggests that any attempt to articulate a truth is inherently flawed; speaking one thing makes it untrue, and speaking another makes it false. Therefore, Kabir advises maintaining a state of contemplation regarding things as they are. This couplet speaks to the complexity of truth and the transient nature of existence, urging acceptance of reality.
