“Awakening the remembered spirit with your hands, yet speaking nothing from your lips. Closing the outer curtain, and opening the inner one.”
یاد کردہ صورت کو ہاتھوں سے جگانا، مگر ہونٹوں سے کچھ نہ کہنا۔ باہر کا پردہ بند کرنا اور اندر کا پردہ کھول دینا۔
Kabir, in this couplet, paints a beautiful picture of inner spiritual discipline. The 'باہر کا پردہ' (outer curtain) symbolizes the noise of the ego and the worldly distractions that must be shut out. The true wisdom lies in opening the 'اندر کا پردہ' (inner curtain), which is the heart's connection to the divine spirit. This profound message suggests that genuine remembrance is achieved through silence, not through eloquent speech.
