Boojh sarikhi bat hain,
kahan sarikhi nahi
Jete gyani dekhiye
tete sansai mahi.

This is a matter of understanding, not about saying
As many wise you see, they are all under grave doubts.

Kabir says we need understanding to realize yourself and Godliness within you.

What is understanding? – Understanding is pure intelligence. That pure intelligence is originally yours; you are born with it. Nobody can give you intelligence. Knowledge can be given to you, not intelligence. Intelligence is your own sharpened being. Through deep meditation one sharpens one’s being; through meditation one drops borrowed thoughts, reclaims one’s own being, reclaims one’s originality, redaims one’s childhood, innocence, freshness. Out of that freshness, when you act, you act out of understanding. And then the response is total, here-now; and the response is because of the challenge, not because of the past.

People go on believing that they understand — and this very idea that they understand keeps their ignorance intact. The first step to be taken towards understanding is to understand that you don’t understand, to recognize and realize your ignorance, to realize in deep humility that you have been ignoring the truth.

Kabir says God is not so cheap. God is a total transformation of your being. And a great understanding is needed and a great intelligence. Kabir’s Dohas are only for those who are really intelligent people and who really want to get out of the misery that they have created around themselves. It is only for those who are really fed up with misery and are ready to get out of the trap. It is up to you, it depends on you. You have created it! Once you understand how you have created it, it will disappear — because then you will not be able to create it any more.
