The lineage of stories and devotional songs is special, serving as the boat across the ocean of existence. Kabir says that there is no other way in this world.

Kabir uses the potent metaphor of the 'ocean of existence' (Bhav Sagar) to describe the chaotic journey of life. He identifies the 'lineage of stories and devotional songs' as the sole boat capable of navigating this vast spiritual sea. The core emotion here is one of urgent guidance; Kabir insists that spiritual discourse and devotion are the only reliable means of crossing the ocean of suffering. His perspective is that true understanding and divine narrative are the only true lifelines.
