कबीर सुपनै रैनि कै, ऊघड़ि आए नैन I जीव परा बहु लूट में, जागै लेन न देन II
"This physical world, and all the experiences associated with it is an illusion like a nightly dream. While in the dreaming state, the dream appears to be true to the dreamer. However, on waking he realises that it was just a passing dream. On account of conditioned consciousness (false ego-sense), the mirage-like phenomenal world of names and forms appears in the living entity. Each person experiences within himself whatever his desires and related fears has given rise to. In reality, this world appearance is nothing but a long dream, which appears to be permanent (or real) to the conditioned consciousness. Kabir wants to Awaken us from this dream state. Why? Because the ephemeral nature of our existence should make us ponder about what is really worthwhile to pursue in this dream world. Kabir asks us not to get attached and run after this dream-like world appearance. Because, to run after this 'Time bound' phenomena would be to deny the 'Timelessness.' In other words, Kabir urges us to ‘be in the world but not of the world!’
