The king, the beggar, and the saint all are disconsolate.
Only he who controls his mind is happy and content.
If one has given his mind he has given his all. With the
mind goes the body too; Then nothing remains.
Reading and hearing all the scriptures, learnt all the
knowledge in them, yet doubts of mind did not go, says Kabir, from doubts
sorrows stem!
Without any sea or seashell and in the absence of svati
rain, gems are formed in the void space on the hill top. Symbolically it means
that spiritual experience can be formed independently without any outward help.
