दाया भाव ह्र्दय नहीं , ज्ञान थके बेहद। ते नर नरक ही जायेंगे , सुनि-सुनि साखी शब्द॥
— Kabir
Meaning
If the heart is not filled with the emotion of compassion and boundless knowledge, those men will certainly go to hell, I testify this word by word.
Explanation
Kabir tells us that merely accumulating facts or intelligence is insufficient. True enlightenment, according to this Shayar, must be rooted in the emotion of compassion. Without this heart-centered empathy, any intellectual wisdom is hollow, leading the soul astray.
