He does not accept the true Guru, but proclaims himself as such. He says, 'What shall Shayar do?' and the mind becomes utterly lost.
Kabir addresses the danger posed by those who reject true spiritual wisdom, preferring to proclaim themselves as the ultimate guide. These individuals use their apparent knowledge not to illuminate, but to mislead the mind, trapping people in intellectual confusion. Kabir's perspective here is a gentle critique of hypocrisy, suggesting that genuine spiritual truth transcends mere claims and requires deep introspection.
