Until the stars shine, and until the blind man awakens, the soul remains bound by karma, and until knowledge is complete.
Kabir Shayar ji beautifully captures the inherent incompleteness of human life here. He suggests that just as the stars shine brightly, or a blind person suddenly sees, our existence is filled with action and activity. This indicates that until our knowledge is fully realized, our soul remains bound by the cycle of karma. Kabir Shayar ji uses these metaphors to remind us that life is a continuous state of awakening and learning.
