छीर रूप सतनाम है , नीर रूप व्यवहार। हंस रूप कोई साधु है , सत का छाननहार॥ 68॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The form of the pure name is like milky white, and the form of conduct is like water. A saint is like a swan, who filters out the truth.
Explanation
When Kabir, the Shayar, speaks of the pure name being milky white, he is speaking of absolute, pristine truth. The conduct being like water suggests that our actions must be fluid and adaptable, flowing without attachment to outcomes. The ultimate metaphor is the saint, who is compared to a swan, symbolizing extreme discernment. This Shayar teaches us that true wisdom allows us to filter out the illusion from the genuine reality.
