पहुँचेंगे तब कहैगें , उमड़ैंगे उस ठांई। आजहूं बेरा समंद मैं , बोलि बिगू पैं काई॥ 266॥
— Kabir
Meaning
When we arrive, we will say that we are filled with joy in that place. Today, in the river, I say, 'What is wrong with Bigu?'
Explanation
This couplet is a sharp commentary on human nature—specifically, the contrast between anticipated joy and present reality. Kabir suggests that people wait until they reach a destination to boast about their happiness, but today, in the river, the focus is on a simple, immediate problem (Bigu). The core message is that we tend to overlook the struggles and questions of our current moment, only focusing on the joy we expect in the future. It is a profound critique of superficial emotional display.
