The name of Ram is not marked, nor is there a cage to live in. My eyes do not find sleep, and my mind does not find rest.
Kabir's Shayar beautifully captures a state of spiritual longing that defies conventional boundaries. The lines suggest that the divine connection is not something that needs to be written down or confined by physical structures. This perpetual restlessness—the sleepless eyes and wandering mind—is not a sign of distress, but rather the intense, natural yearning of the soul for the ultimate truth.
