The Shayar says that there is no enemy in this world for one whose heart is cool and tranquil. Cast away this ego, and everyone will show compassion.
Kabir shares a profound truth: conflict is not found in others, but within the ego itself. When our hearts maintain a cool, tranquil state, we naturally project peace, making the concept of an 'enemy' obsolete. The 'āpā' refers to the superficial self or ego, which is the primary source of suffering. By casting away this inflated sense of self, we invite universal compassion and harmony into our lives.
