कबीर यह जग कुछ नहीं , खिन खारा मीठ। काल्ह जो बैठा भण्डपै , आज भसाने दीठ॥
— Kabir
Meaning

Kabir says that this world is neither bitter nor sweet. Yesterday, the person who sat in the granary has been thrown out today.

Explanation

Kabir delivers a profound lesson on life's unpredictability. He suggests that the world is neither purely sweet nor purely bitter; it is a mix of both. The metaphor of the granary beautifully illustrates the fleeting nature of status and wealth. Kabir's perspective is a gentle reminder that worldly stability is an illusion, and fortune can change drastically overnight.
