Description

Acharya Prashant discusses a verse by Kabir Saheb that depicts the relationship between a seeker and a Fakir. He emphasizes that the seeker's primary role is non-doership and cooperation rather than active effort. In the verse, the Fakir is the sole mover of things—he wakes the seeker from slumber, pulls her from the sea of worldly existence, and frees her from earthly bonds. The seeker's liberation is caused by her lack of resistance and her willingness to let the Fakir act. Acharya Prashant explains that the seeker must simply wake up when shaken and not retaliate against the sharp, piercing words of the teacher, which are compared to arrows.
