बुरा जो देखन मै चला

बुरा जो देखन मै चला, बुरा ना मिल्या कोय, जो मन खोजा आपना मुझसे बुरा ना कोय

"When I went out to find sin, I did not find anyone evil;when I searched my mind, none was worse than me

Comment : Kabir says all evil thoughts and actions reside in the mana or the mind substance or the subtle body.Inside the physical body there exists one subtle body which has two main parts man and ahankar. The subtle body has in all 17 parts mind , intellect(Buddhi), five knowledge senses(touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing ) , five karma senses(hands, legs, speech, excretory and reproductive organs) ,and five praan .This subtle body is also plain material just like the physical body but this subtle body has the capacity of absorbing the reflection of the supreme consciousness .Thats why it seems to be alive.This subtle body is also called ling body.The word ling means sign, the sign by which some object is recognized.This subtle body has three states, sleep , dream and wakefulness corresponding to our states as human beings just as when we are sleeping, dreaming or are awake depending upon the state of the subtle body.When we die this subtle body leaves the physical body and that is called death.When it enters a new physical body it is called birth.The subtle body does'nt die.The physical body does.

It has been stated by adi sankaracharya

मनो अहम्क्रित्य उपादानं लिंगमेकम जडात्मक
अवस्थात्रय मन इति, जायते म्रियते तथा
which translates as "There is a body of material form constituted of mana and ahamkaar which attains to three states , this subtle body causes birth and death.

As we do karma, five types of modifications are formed on the mind mirror which settle there like dust.These modifications are caused by the five types of afflictions of the mind(ignorance etc) which result in formation and accumulation of latent impressions of karma(क्लेष मूलः कर्म विपाकः)These afflictions stick with the subtle body and move from birth to birth along with the subtle body( दृष्ट अदृष्ट जन्म वेदनीय )These afflictions is the real evil that needs to be purged to help the supreme consciousness or the seer to rest back in its own original and real non-illusory state.There is no evil outside or otherwise and all evil resides in the mind substance or the subtle body.There is no need to look at the evil in other persons as that would not help your own liberation and therefore is wholly irrelevant, only the purging of the evil or afflictions within your mind would help it.Self Liberation is the only ultimate goal of man."
