जबही नाम हिरदे घरा , भया पाप का नाश। मानो चिंगरी आग की , परी पुरानी घास॥ 71॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Whenever the name (of the divine) is remembered in the heart, sins are destroyed. It is like a spark of fire falling upon old grass.
Explanation
Kabir, through this beautiful Shayar, beautifully illustrates the immense power of devotion. He suggests that merely uttering the divine name in the heart is enough to destroy accumulated sins. The metaphor of the spark on old grass is profound, suggesting that the remembrance of the divine acts as an instantaneous, powerful catalyst for purification. It shows that true change begins internally, igniting a cleansing fire within the soul.
