प्रेमभाव एक चाहिए , भेष अनेक बजाय। चाहे घर में बास कर , चाहे बन मे जाय॥
— Kabir
Meaning

The core loving feeling is what is required, and for it, one must adopt many disguises. Whether one resides in a home or wanders in the forest.

Explanation

This couplet emphasizes that genuine love is not tied to a specific form or location. Love is an inner feeling, capable of existing equally whether the setting is a home or a forest. Kabir teaches that the true quest lies not in external appearance or disguise, but in the purity of the heart's emotion.
