जो गुरु पूरा होय तो , शीषहि लेय निबाहि। शीष भाव सुत्त जानिये , सुत ते श्रेष्ठ शिष आहि॥ 458॥

— Kabir

Meaning

If the teacher is complete, he guides the disciple. One must know the true feeling of the head; the son is the best student.

Explanation

Kabir shares that when the teacher himself is complete, he naturally guides the disciple toward truth. The couplet speaks volumes about the transformative power of perfect guidance, comparing the teacher's role to that of a steady light. More profoundly, the Shayar suggests that recognizing the true state of the mind is paramount; in fact, the student's inherent spirit is the greatest asset.
