What climbs in a moment and descends in a moment is not love. In the cage of deep love, love itself sleeps.

Kabir offers a profound insight into the true nature of love. He argues that genuine love is not fleeting or erratic, characterized by sudden climbs and immediate descents. He uses the beautiful metaphor of a cage to explain that deep love resides there, settled and stable. For Kabir, true love is a profound, restful state, existing far beyond the drama of momentary highs and lows.
