कबीर कहा गरबियो, चाँम पलेटे हाड़ I हैबर ऊपरि छत्र सिरि, ते भी देबा गाड़ II
"Kabir says, we never seem to forget or ignore to cherish our body, all day along, everyday. Not only that, we all take care of our body without anybody reminding us. Nothing to be proud of your body, for it is but a bundle of bones wrapped up in skin. The mighty who rode the thoroughbred (horses of high quality) under resplendent canopies eventually lay buried. Those who are very proud of their greatness and wealth return empty-handed in the end. The greatest illusion is we mistakenly confound our real identity with the gross body. Neither ‘you’ is body, nor ‘I, me’ is body. It is something else that animates this body from within. That is the Real ‘us’ of ‘you’ and ‘me’, which is formless. From the moment we are born, death is our final destination. Death comes to all. It spares none. It treats the mighty and weak equally. Power and wealth are like short lived shadows. Just as the sun rises, the shadows disappear similarly when one is spiritually enlightened, one sees the reality of these worldly perishable things."
