पोथी पढ़ पढ़ जग मुआ

पोथी पढ़ पढ़ जग मुआ, पंडित भया न कोय| ढाई आखर प्रेम के, जो

None became knowledgeable by reading thick books;two and half letters of the word "प्रेम " is all that anyone needs to read to know

There are so many words that everyone reads but all one needs to know is those two and half letters which contain the essence of all knowledge that we ever need to acquire.The path of love and complete devotion to God helps us the best in realizing God.Patanjali says ईश्वर प्रणिधानात्वा चित्त वृत्ति निरोधः which means roughly as "Union with God or the cessation of the modifications on the mind plate is possible by complete devotion to God also"

Kabir however simplifies it all and believes and propounds that Bhakti or love and devotion to God is the method which is the best and the only one that requires to be read ,understood and followed.
