He who drowns in the mighty current, I fear he will not cross. In the stream of greed, where can a man possibly go?

Kabir suggests that one who drowns in the mighty current will never reach safety. This warning extends to the river of greed; in this stream of attachment, a person has no reliable path. The flow is so deep that no man can find his way through it. This couplet serves as a stark caution to humanity regarding the dangers of worldly attachment and delusion.
