What is seen is not the Truth
What *is* cannot be said
Trust comes not without seeing
Nor understanding without words
The wise comprehends with knowledge
To the ignorant it is but a wonder
Some worship the formless God
Some worship His various forms
In what way He is beyond these attributes
Only the Knower knows
That music cannot be written
How can then be the notes
Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion
This verse of Kabir deals with the concept of Illusion and
Reality ...
A lot has been written on this issue, yet an average person
is trapped in the conflict of illusion and reality ...
The only Truth, the One Inexpressible God, is obviously beyond expression ...
In simple words, illusion is something that is mutable or changeable ...
And, ignorance is to believe this illusion to be true.
Kabir in this verse affirms that only when one becomes aware and regulates
one's affairs with awareness ... Only then one can be free from the pitfalls of
illusion – (Rajender Krishan)
