II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
बुरा जो देखने मै चला, बुरा ना मिल्या कोय I
जो मन खोजा आपना, तो मुझसे बुरा ना कोय II
In this composition Kabir talks about those who are false within, yet make themselves look honorable on the outside, those who fanatically practice superficial purity, cleanliness while totally ignoring the inner impurities of their minds.
The majority of us do not want to know ourselves. But we want to know everything about others. We want to find faults in others, but not in ourselves. We want others to forgive and forget our demerits, but we do not want to forgive and forget theirs. In other words, we are unaware of our own house being on fire, but we go out and look if someone else's house is burning. The majority of us are unwilling to look within because our inflated ego is afraid to face the truth our inner mind will reveal to us, our shocking crookedness, perversions, weaknesses, shortcomings, corruption, ignorance, untruthfulness, selfishness, duality, Vaasanas, fear, falsehood and so on. As a result our ever expanding ego finds it easy and more pleasant to judge others and find faults with them.
"Kabir says, I set out to find flawed people, but couldn't find any. When I finally peered inside myself though, there was no one more flawed than me."
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
