कबीरा गर्व ना कीजिये

कबीरा गर्व ना कीजिये, काल गहे कर केस| न जाने कित मारे है, क्या देस क्या परदेस||

Kabir says do not be too proud of yourself for you are caught by the hair in the hands of Time,no one knows where Time will kill you this place or that

Kabir points to the inevitability of death and advises lack of pride in one's own material existence.With time everything changes and nothing remains constant but the one universal consciousness.Nothing remains the same even for a small moment.But sometimes many people and many times some people are not able to see this momentariness of all things ,and feel pride in something that will not last even for a moment.Kabir points to the fruitlessness and meaninglessness of such a pride.
