Description

Acharya Prashant explains that language is a tool of symbols and metaphors used by saints like Kabir Saheb to communicate spiritual truths to the human mind. In the verse 'Amarpuri le chalou ho sajna,' Kabir Saheb uses the image of a woman asking her lover to take her to the land of immortality. This reveals that the ultimate purpose of love is not the mortal object—be it a person, child, or idea—but the desire for deathlessness and liberation. A true lover acts as a bridge to the beyond rather than an end in themselves. If a person seeks to possess or enslave you, they are a hindrance; a real lover or Guru encourages you to go beyond them to reach the truth.
