कबीर खडा बाजार में, मांगे सबकी खैर I न काहू से दोस्ती, न काहू से बैर II
"It is not the world but attachment to it which is the root of all misery." ~ It suggests that our suffering and misery arise not from the external world itself, but rather from our attachment to it. In other words, it is our emotional investment in people, places, and things that creates a sense of ownership and possessiveness, leading to distress when we lose or experience change. This attachment can take many forms, such as attachment to material possessions, relationships, or even our own ego. This can be applied to various aspects of life. For instance, we may find ourselves becoming overly attached to specific outcomes or expectations in our personal and professional lives. When these expectations are not met, we may experience feelings of disappointment, frustration, or even despair. By recognizing that it is our attachment to these outcomes that is the root of our misery, we can begin to let go of this emotional investment and cultivate a greater sense of detachment.
"Kabir says, detachment does not mean becoming apathetic or uncaring; rather, it allows us to develop a more nuanced understanding of the world and its workings. By recognizing that everything is impermanent and subject to change, we can learn to find joy and fulfillment in the present moment, regardless of external circumstances."
