जाके जिव्या बन्धन नहीं , ह्र्दय में नहीं साँच। वाके संग न लागिये , खाले वटिया काँच॥ 48॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Do not attach yourself to those whose lives are not bound by principles, and whose hearts hold no truth. Keep your distance from them, for they are like broken glass.
Explanation
Kabir offers a powerful warning here. He tells us to be wary of people whose lives lack stability and whose hearts are dishonest. The metaphor of 'broken glass' is striking; it suggests that any interaction with such individuals will inevitably cause pain. This couplet is a profound lesson on self-preservation and maintaining wisdom in worldly relationships.
