One who fights only with weapons (arrows and darts) is not a true warrior. The true warrior is one who abandons illusion and practices devotion, which is what the Shayar says.
Kabir suggests that true valor is not found in physical conflict, like fighting with arrows and darts. Instead, he elevates the act of abandoning illusion (Maya) and embracing devotion (Bhakti) to the highest form of heroism. This shift in focus implies that the greatest battles are internal, requiring spiritual resolve rather than physical might.
