Description

Acharya Prashant discusses a verse by Kabir Saheb that describes the relationship between a seeker and a Fakir. He emphasizes that in the entire verse, the seeker, represented as a woman, does nothing of her own volition. It is the Fakir who initiates every action: he wakes her from her slumber, pulls her out of the ocean of worldly existence, and frees her from earthly bonds. The speaker explains that the seeker's liberation is caused by her non-doership and her lack of demanding or desiring. Her only role is to not resist and to cooperate silently with the Fakir's actions, even when those actions seem harsh or confusing to the intellect.
