कामी लज्जा ना करै , न माहें अहिलाद। नींद न माँगै साँथरा , भूख न माँगे स्वाद॥ 290॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The passionate man does not feel shame, nor is he afraid of women. The sleeping man does not ask for companionship, nor does the hungry man ask for taste.
Explanation
Kabir is describing a state of profound detachment, a transcendence of worldly limitations. The Shayar suggests that when the spirit reaches a certain level of realization, it is no longer governed by physical shame or fear of the feminine. This couplet speaks to a life lived beyond basic needs—neither seeking companionship in sleep nor craving mere taste for hunger. It is a beautiful depiction of true spiritual freedom, where the self finds peace outside of physical desires.
