संत ही में सत बांटई , रोटी में ते टूक। कहे कबीर ता दास को , कबहूँ न आवे चूक॥ 88॥ मार्ग चलते जो गिरा , ताकों नाहि दोष। यह कबिरा बैठा रहे , तो सिर करड़े दोष॥ 89॥
— Kabir
Meaning
is distributed among saints, and even the bread has a piece (or flaw). Kabir says that the servant never makes a mistake. The fault for falling while walking is not there. If Kabir is sitting here, then the fault is on the head.
Explanation
Kabir, through these profound metaphors, challenges us to look inward rather than blaming external circumstances. He suggests that while an accident while walking is unavoidable, the true fault lies in the state of our own mind or awareness. This couplet is a sharp reminder that spiritual progress demands personal accountability, making us responsible for the direction and state of our own hearts.
