ज्यों नैनन में पूतली , त्यों मालिक घर माहिं। मूर्ख लोग न जानिए , बहर ढ़ूंढ़त जांहि॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Just as the eyes are filled with tears, the master (God) is within the house. Foolish people do not realize this and keep searching for the ocean.
Explanation
Kabir uses the powerful metaphor of tears to explain divine presence. He suggests that just as the eyes are filled with tears, the Divine Master resides within our own homes. The core message is that people mistakenly search for the ocean outside, failing to recognize the infinite reality that is already present within them.
