Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People read and study, and feel pleased with themselves, but in their confusion they talk nonsense.
The true Maker is spread through the whole of creation — not just the one legendary form the old stories picture.
Kabir deepens the P0 critique and adds a non-dual, evenhanded point: "the True Creator Lord is diffused into His creation; He is not just the dark-skinned Krishna of legends." The One is not confined to a single legendary form or story — it is the whole of creation's indwelling reality. This is the same move as Naam Dayv's "if one stone is a god": the formless One cannot be shrunk to one image, one legend, one form, because it is present in all of them and beyond them. The critique targets confining God, not any devotion.
Where might you be picturing the deepest reality too narrowly — as one form — when it's present in everything?
