What will Kabir do if he sleeps and does not wake up to praise God? When Yama's house takes him, the sheath will remain behind.

Kabir delivers a profound warning about spiritual negligence and the passage of time. The 'sleeping' represents a life spent oblivious to God's call. The sheath is a powerful metaphor for worldly achievements or skills. Kabir suggests that when Yama arrives, these physical accomplishments are utterly useless; only the spiritual wakefulness truly matters.
