जो तु चाहे मुक्ति को , छोड़ दे सबकी आस। मुक्त ही जैसा हो रहे , सब कुछ तेरे पास॥

जो तु चाहे मुक्ति को , छोड़ दे सबकी आस। मुक्त ही जैसा हो रहे , सब कुछ तेरे पास॥ 199॥

— Kabir

Meaning

If you desire liberation, let go of all attachments. As you become free, everything remains with you.

Explanation

This couplet is a profound teaching on detachment. Kabir suggests that the desire for liberation requires letting go of all worldly expectations and attachments. He uses the metaphor of freedom itself—true freedom isn't found by gaining things, but by realizing that the self is already complete and self-sufficient. It's a powerful emotional reminder that inner peace comes from letting go.
