Neither the master nor the disciple was found; the game was played with greed. Across the stream of the two worlds, the boat of stone crossed.

Kabir reminds us that when the focus shifts from the spiritual path to the game of greed, the true purpose of life gets lost. The absence of both the master and the disciple suggests that inner purity is more vital than external knowledge or guidance. The stream of life is depicted as powerful and perilous, emphasizing that crossing it requires only the steady, unwavering effort symbolized by the stone boat.
