जहाँ आप तहाँ आपदा , जहाँ संशय तहाँ रोग। कह कबीर यह क्यों मिटैं , चारों बाधक रोग॥
— Kabir
Meaning

Wherever you are, disaster resides; where doubt exists, disease blooms. Shayar Kabir asks, why should these four obstacles (disaster, doubt, disease) perish?

Explanation

Kabir suggests that wherever 'you' (ego/self-centeredness) resides, disaster follows, and wherever doubt exists, disease takes root. This profound couplet reveals that these four obstacles—ego, doubt, disaster, and disease—are not external curses but internal creations. Kabir urges us toward deep self-examination, guiding us to understand how to release these self-imposed emotional and spiritual chains.
