Description

Acharya Prashant explains that language is a tool of the human mind that uses symbols, metaphors, and images to communicate. When a saint like Kabir Saheb speaks to mortals, he must use their language to convey the beyond. Analyzing a verse by Kabir Saheb, he explains that the request to be taken to the 'land of immortality' or 'Amarpuri' reveals the true nature of love. Earthly love often focuses on mortal beings or objects, but the underlying attraction is actually a search for the deathless. A true lover is not someone who makes themselves the goal or destination, but someone who acts as a bridge to the ultimate truth. If a person tries to possess or enslave you, they are a hindrance; a real lover encourages you to go beyond them toward liberation.
