Those who do not reach the refuge of the True Guru, it is ultimately futile. All living beings will lose themselves to time in the three realms of existence.

Kabir, the great Shayar, speaks with a profound sense of resignation about the nature of existence. He suggests that even the sanctuary of the True Guru’s shelter cannot hold back the relentless current of time. This couplet reminds us that attachment to the world makes the pursuit of spiritual refuge ultimately futile, as all beings are destined to be swept away by the cycle of time across all realms of existence.
