भक्त मरे क्या रोइये, जो अपने घर जाय I रोइये साकट बपुरे, हाटों हाट बिकाय II
As long as one identifies with the body and the world of gross objects, there will be the constant fear of death and of losing one's possessions. Only the body-conscious person is afraid of death. The nature of the body is to die. Any object that can be seen with our material eyes is bound to perish; it's just a question of time. This is the nature of material objects. No denying that one feels pain upon the death of his love ones. But what Kabir is trying to tell us here is that our pain is due to our emotional attachments - more attachments, more the pain and suffering. The one who laments over the death does so because of attachment. For the Living-liberated however life and death, joy and sorrows, pain and pleasure, etc., are all mere a world-play because he is already dead to the phenomenal world. Kabir urges us to learn and practice the art of death before its too late, else nothing can save us from being subjected to the endless suffering of birth, death and rebirth."
