झूठे गुरु के पक्ष की , तजत न कीजै वार। द्वार न पावै शब्द का , भटके बारम्बार॥
— Kabir
Meaning

Do not take a side with a false teacher, because one who wanders repeatedly never finds the door of the word.

Explanation

Kabir warns us that aligning oneself with a false teacher's dogma is a surrender that must be resisted. The 'word' (Shabda) represents the ultimate, pure truth, which is not accessible to those who wander aimlessly in spiritual confusion. He conveys that genuine enlightenment requires deep introspection and commitment, rather than following transient, misguided paths.
