कबीर चंदन पर जला, तीतर बैठा माहिं I हम तो दाझत पंख बिन, तुम दा जत हो काहि II
"Kabir says, a bird is pearched on a Sandalwood tree while it was on fire. The tree couldn't keep quiet, said, I am getting burnt because I have no wings. Why are you inviting trouble when you have the means to fly off to a safe place and save yourself? There are people in this world who suffer despite having means to avert it just like us, human beings. God Realisation and liberation from the endless cycle of death and rebirth is very much attainable in this rare human birth provided we do not waste it chasing frivolous material pursuits. What we sow shall we reap."
