सन्त पुरुष की आरसी , सन्तों की ही देह। लखा जो चहे अलख को , उन्हीं में लख लेह॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The body of the saintly man is like a mirror. For those who desire the imperceptible (ultimate knowledge), they find it within them.
Explanation
Kabir suggests that the saint's body functions as a perfect mirror. This mirror does not reflect physical beauty, but rather the divine truth—the 'Alakh,' or the imperceptible reality. For the seeker, the saint is the most direct medium for realizing the truth, making the saint a living scripture. It emphasizes that the ultimate truth is manifest within the saintly life.
