Oh mind, everything happens slowly. The gardener waters a hundred pots, but the fruit only appears when the season arrives.

Kabir uses this beautiful metaphor to counsel the restless mind, suggesting that nothing happens instantaneously. The comparison to the gardener watering a hundred pots beautifully highlights the difference between effort and outcome. Kabir teaches us that sheer effort, while necessary, is not enough; we must cultivate patience and wait for the right moment or 'season' to arrive. This couplet is a timeless lesson in acceptance and trusting the natural rhythm of life.
