Tiratha Kari-kari Jaga Muva — Kabir
Meaning
By performing pilgrimages in the world, one seeks to bathe in the water, but by chanting Rama's name, the passage of time is dragged along.
Explanation
Kabir, the great Shayar, here offers a profound contrast. He suggests that the world's elaborate rituals, like performing pilgrimages and bathing in sacred waters, promise temporary purification. However, Kabir reveals a deeper truth: true spiritual immersion comes not from external acts, but from the constant chanting of the divine name. This inner devotion slows down the relentless passage of time, giving the soul a profound sense of peace and timelessness.
