II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

माटी मलनि कुँभार की, घनी सहै सिरि लात I
इहि औसरि चेत्या नहीं, चूका अबकी घात II

"Kabir says, just like the clay is pounded under the feet of the pot maker so that it can be easily moulded into pots, the pain and sufferings we undergo in life are the means used by the Supreme Creator to rouse us from the slumber of ignorance cast by Maya, our materialistic aspirations, and strive for Liberation from the sufferings once and for all by His Realisation. It is attachment to things that is to be renounced, and not the things as such. Essentially, it is an absence of taste for things, which is called renunciation, and not an absence of the physical proximity of objects. If taste remains, true renunciation has not taken place, even if the objects are left physically far behind."
