Hamsa Moti Vinnya — Kabir

हंसा मोती विण्न्या , कुञ्च्न थार भराय। जो जन मार्ग न जाने , सो तिस कहा कराय॥
— Kabir

Meaning

The swan, the pearl, the creeper, and the river are all examples; what can a person do who does not know the path of life?

Explanation

Kabir suggests that the swan, the pearl, the creeper, and the river are merely metaphors illustrating the breadth and beauty of life's path. He emphasizes that without knowledge of the true path, any endeavor remains meaningless. True success comes only when one first illuminates their inner self and understands the core purpose of existence.
