A student, filled with bad intellect, is immersed (in the knowledge); the Guru's knowledge is like water. The peacock's dance, which spans countless births, is washed away in a moment.

Kabir suggests that the student, burdened by bad intellect, is mired in ignorance. The Guru's knowledge, in contrast, is pure, cleansing water. The metaphor of the peacock's dance represents the elaborate, transient life lived across countless births. Kabir beautifully conveys that this entire accumulation of ego and attachment is washed away instantly by the mere touch of true wisdom. This profound insight highlights the transformative power of spiritual realization.
