Acharya Prashant explains the profound meaning behind the verses of Kabir Saheb, emphasizing that the ultimate truth or 'Sai's city' is not found in external heavens or distant skies but within oneself. He clarifies that all human desires, whether for food, vehicles, or houses, are essentially fragmented expressions of a single, ultimate longing for the Divine. We often fail to recognize this because we are lost in the diversity of worldly objects, not realizing that every dream is ultimately a dream of the 'Beloved'. The speaker distinguishes between ordinary happiness, which is always dependent on external causes and therefore temporary, and 'Anand' (bliss), which is causeless and stable. He explains that in the spiritual realm, light exists without a sun and coolness exists without wind, signifying a state beyond the law of cause and effect. True bliss remains even in the face of suffering because it does not rely on any condition. He notes that saints use paradoxical language to break the mind's habit of imagination, as the mind is limited by duality, time, and space. By describing a place where 'no one comes or goes,' saints force the mind to confront its own limitations and move toward silence. Finally, Acharya Prashant discusses the nature of devotion and singing. He advises against trying to achieve musical perfection or 'panditry' when singing devotional hymns. He points out that saints like Kabir Saheb were not formally trained musicians; they sang with authenticity and truth rather than technical skill. He encourages being ordinary and natural, stating that the hallmark of a saint is their 'ordinariness'. One should avoid both the hesitation of not knowing how to sing and the ego of trying to sing exceptionally well, as both are deviations from the simple, internal truth.
