Why to collect this illusion?

Sant Kabir says :

Kaahey kun maya dukh kari jori,

Haathi chun gaya paanch pachhevari.

 

Maa, ko banch no bhaai saathi,

Baandhey rahey turangam haathi.

 

Mairi, mahal baabri chhaajaq,

Chhaani iye sab bhoopati raja.

 

Kaahey kabir Rama lyuan laai

Dhaari rahi maya kaahu na khaayi.

 

Kabir says “hey creature! Why have you collected this illusion and wealth-property uselessly bearing all the pain? At your death you would get only the five-yard of red cloth and nothing else.

No one is a friend of anyone in this world, nor is anyone is anyone’s consort; all the relations in the world are illusory; why then do the rich men show off their wealth parking elephant-horse at their entrance?

From great to the greatest king met their end leaving hut, palace, pond, other buildings and everything behind right here.

Kabir says : O imprudent creature! You love Rama. The illusion remains where it is. no one can enjoy it….
