कबीर गुरु है घाट का , हाँटू बैठा चेल। मूड़ मुड़ाया साँझ कूँ गुरु सबेरे ठेल॥
— Kabir
Meaning

Kabir says that the Ghat (river bank) is the Guru, and the man sits on the bank. The Guru made him turn, and at dusk, he departed.

Explanation

Kabir suggests that the true Guru is not a person, but the flow of life itself, symbolized by the river bank (Ghat). The Ghat represents the cumulative experience of life, which teaches us through our ups and downs. This insightful Shayar explains that spiritual guidance is a process; it guides us through change, and ultimately, when the time is right, we must move forward by ourselves.
