When I was immersed in love, I did not need a Guru; but now that I have the Guru, I am immersed in love. The path of love is too narrow for two to enter.
Kabir offers a deep spiritual realization, suggesting that when we are preoccupied with the ego (the 'I'), we lack knowledge of the divine Guru. Once the Guru's wisdom enters our lives, our entire focus shifts to the divine (the 'Thou'). The path of love is a powerful metaphor for the spiritual life, which Kabir describes as being too narrow for the ego and the divine to walk together. It is a beautiful instruction to abandon dualities and merge the self into the divine truth.
