Kabir — Kabir
Meaning
Kabir says that everyone worships the Divine (Hari), but no one truly worships the Divine. As long as there is attachment to the body, one cannot be a true servant (of the Divine).
Explanation
Kabir, through this couplet, delivers a profound truth about the nature of devotion. He suggests that merely performing rituals or claiming devotion isn't enough; true worship requires detachment. As long as the heart remains attached to the ego and the physical body's desires, one cannot genuinely be a servant of the Divine. This is a powerful call to recognize that spiritual service begins with mastering our attachments to the material world.
