सुख मे सुमिरन ना किया , दु:ख में किया याद। कह कबीर ता दास की , कौन सुने फरियाद॥
— Kabir
Meaning
I did not remember Him in times of ease, but only in times of sorrow. Kabir says to this servant, who will listen to my lament?
Explanation
This couplet is a profound critique of conditional faith. Kabir uses the contrast between ease and sorrow to critique the hypocrisy of those who only remember the divine when they face difficulty. He suggests that devotion must be a constant state, not merely an emergency response. Ultimately, Kabir points out that lamenting one's forgetfulness is a futile act, emphasizing that true remembrance must be continuous.
