II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
कबीर नौबति आपनी, दिन दस लेहु बजाइ I
ए पुर पद्दन ए गली, बहुरि न देखहु आइ II
"Kabir explains the fragility of life and the temporary nature of our existence. What rises must set. What comes and goes is time-bound, thus unreal or temporary. So, we are urged by Kabir not to get attached to anything fleeting. The mansions, worldly riches, power, worldly pleasures, beauty, possessions, youth are all but a passing shadow. Then are they real? Yes, they are real since we experience them. However they are called ‘Mithya‘ in a sense that they are subject to constant change. Hence are impermanent, perishable, fleeting.
We are not used to contemplate death or come to terms with it. What we usually do is to avoid it and live as if we were never going to die. While Life is uncertain, Death is certain.That which is born will die. Death is a reality every single living creature will experience. No one’s health, wealth, status, or riches ever saved them from dying and depart with nothing.
The contemplation of death is not for making us depressed or morbid; it is rather for the purpose of waking up from the slumber of ignorance before it is too late and make this rare human birth a meaningful existence."
