जाके मुख माथा नहीं , नाहीं रूप कुरूप। पुछुप बास तें पामरा , ऐसा तत्व अनूप॥ 193॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Whose face has no brow, nor beauty, nor ugliness; from whose scent the barbet is drawn, such an incomparable element.
Explanation
When Kabir describes something that has no brow, no specific beauty, and no ugliness, he is speaking of the divine essence. The metaphor of the barbet drawn by a scent is key; this scent represents the divine fragrance (or presence). This element is incomparable because it transcends all physical descriptors, emotions, and forms. Kabir’s unique perspective invites us to seek the divine not in outward appearance, but in an intangible, universal reality.
