संत ही में सत बांटई , रोटी में ते टूक। कहे कबीर ता दास को , कबहूँ न आवे चूक॥ 88॥ मार्ग चलते जो गिरा , ताकों नाहि दोष। यह कबिरा बैठा रहे , तो सिर करड़े दोष॥ 89॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The saint has to distribute the truth, and a bite is taken from the bread. Kabir says to his disciple that he should never make a mistake. If a person falls while walking, it is not a fault. But if Kabir sits and assigns blame, that is a fault.
Explanation
Kabir uses the metaphor of the fall to teach us about the natural flow of life and action. He suggests that while physical mistakes are unavoidable, the real fault lies in our tendency to sit back and judge others. The core message is that judgment itself is a form of stagnation, a spiritual fault. Kabir encourages us to maintain humility and accept the imperfections of existence, rather than assigning blame.
