What is the meaning of the verse by Kabir Sahib?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True companionship lies in the grace of Rama and the presence of the living guru, guiding us from effortful remembrance to the effortless sound of liberation."
According to Osho, Kabir’s verse means our true companions are Rama (the source of grace and liberation) and the Vaishnava—the living guru/devotee—whose presence awakens remembrance of the Name. Beginning with effortful japa, remembrance ripens into effortless ajapa-japa, the inner unstruck Sound (shabd, symbolized by Om). Then the seeker simply witnesses, and liberation flowers by Rama’s grace.
Kabir says God gives freedom, and a true teacher helps you remember God until the remembering keeps going by itself inside you.
