5 (tell me brother how)
I.63. avadhu, maya taji na jay
TELL ME, Brother, how can I renounce Maya?
When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment about me:
When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its folds.
So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains;
And when I renounce anger, greed is with me still;
And when greed is vanquished, pride and vain-glory remain;
When the mind is detached and casts Maya away, still it clings to the letter.
Kabir says, 'Listen to me, dear Sadhu! the true path is rarely found.'
