Jaise pat gire taruvarake, milana bahut duhela
Na janu kidhar girega, lagya pavan ke rela
Jab hove umar puri, jab chitega hukum hujuri
Jam ke dut bade majabut, jamase pada jhamela
Das Kabir Harake Gun gave, bahar ko par na pave
Guruki karani Guru jayega, cheleki karani chela
In this bhajan, Kabir speaks about the loneliness of the atma (self), the mere-spectacle-nature of the world, and the attributes of the Lord. Calling the atma symbolically a swan Kabir says it will fly all alone. As a falling leaf of a tree gets a stroke of wind nobody will know where it will fall. Same is with the life of the self. According to Kabir, in the conflict with the Death the man has no chances of winning. The Lord alone can rescue the man, but again it all depends on the self. Everybody, including the Guru and the disciple, will go according to their individual doings.
