II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

छीर रूप सतनाम है, नीर रूप व्यवहार I
हंस रूप कोई साधू है, तत का छानन हार II

In this composition Kabir talks about one's sense of discriminating intellect (Vivek Buddhi), a subtle sense of discrimination that helps one to know the difference between what is right and wrong; what is real and unreal; what is fleeting and permanent; what is Truth and falsehood. Detachment implies a state of the mind that springs from one’s sense of discriminating intellect. An Enlightened Being who discerns the fleeting nature of the worldly possessions live amidst the worldly activity yet remain detached just like the lotus remains untainted by the slimy scum it grows in. To be detached does not mean running away from life, family, society, one’s duty and responsibility, or being less sensitive or loving. A truly detached one does not neglect any of this; but rather selflessly loves and serves the Divine in them and expands that love and service to all other beings without any sense of bondage or emotional attachment.

"Kabir says, the Swan is said to have a sense of discernment and discrimination by separating milk from water. An Enlightened Being is he who, like a Swan, can take the milk from a mixture of milk and water, leaving aside the water. He who, like an ant, can take the sugar from a mixture of sugar and sand, leaving aside the sand.
The world is a mixture of milk and water, the bliss of God-Consciousness and the pleasure of sense-enjoyment. Be a Swan and drink the milk, leaving the water aside, living in the world but not of the world."
