Kabir says that I have abandoned Rama, and my name is Mutia. I am bound by Rama's anklet, and wherever it pulls, I go.
This couplet beautifully captures the spirit of ultimate surrender. The 'anklet of Rama' is not merely an ornament; it symbolizes the unbreakable divine connection that binds the soul to the divine. Kabir declares that although he identifies himself as Mutia, his true being is guided by the pull of that divine thread. It conveys a profound sense of detachment, suggesting that true life means following the irresistible call of the divine, regardless of the path.
