What does Kabir mean by casting words into ulatbansis?

To speak in ulatbansi is to turn the world upside down, revealing that in the depths of samadhi, the doer dissolves and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

— Osho
According to Osho, ulatbansi means speaking from the inverted vision born of samadhi, where the doer dissolves, effects become causes, and means become ends; like the flute playing the player. Kabir casts words into such paradox to convey the saint’s headstand view, overturning ordinary values and logic so seekers glimpse egoless absorption and the world seen from within, not outside.

He’s saying saints talk in upside-down ways—like ‘the flute plays the musician’—because in deep meditation everything flips and the ego isn’t in charge.
