भज दीना कहूँ और ही , तन साधुन के संग। कहैं कबीर कारी गजी , कैसे लागे रंग॥ 222॥
— Kabir
Meaning
I sing of Dīna, but of another; I speak with the company of the body. Shayar Kabir says, 'O painter, what color do you think you are?'
Explanation
I sing of Dīna, but of another; with the company of the body, I speak. Kabir asks, 'O painter, what color do you think you are?' This couplet shifts focus from external devotion to internal realization. Kabir challenges the notion of superficial identity, suggesting that true essence cannot be confined to any single name or appearance. The question compels us to look beyond the visible facade and find our inherent, true color.
