Awakening the remembered spirit with your hands, yet speaking nothing from your lips. Closing the outer curtain, and opening the inner one.

Kabir uses beautiful metaphors here, advising us that true spiritual awakening is an internal process. The outer curtain symbolizes the noise of the world and external chatter, which we must silence. By closing this curtain, we gain access to the inner self—the divine remembrance—which requires no words. This couplet is a powerful call to introspection, urging us to find truth through silence and deep contemplation.
