The verse and its meaning · Suvichar · Suvichar — Kabir
Sword's Edge
Kabir
साधु कहावन कठिन है, ज्यों खांड़े की धार ।
डगमगाय तो गिर पड़े निहचल उतरे पार ॥
Meaning · English
To be called a holy man is hard, like walking a sword's edge. Waver and you fall. Stay steady and you cross.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
साधु कहलाना कठिन है, जैसे तलवार की धार पर चलना। डगमगाए तो गिर जाओगे, अडिग रहे तो पार उतरोगे।
