Dhan Dhan Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji de Bachan- kbIr pRIiq iek isau kIey Awn duibDw jwie ] BwvY lWby kys kru BwvY Grir mufwie ]25] Dhan Dhan Bhagat Kabeer Ji says-when you are in love with the One Lord, duality and alienation depart. Does not matter, you may have long hair, or you may shave your head bald.
This is beautiful quote
It has been written by Kabir ji keeping in Mind the tradition prevelant at the time where people were made to shave heads( signifying detachment from from wordly love/things) at the time of induction into a particular spirtual tradition as it marks the reference point in the life of person when he commited to follow that particular path .In the same line people were made to grow hair in other tradition to mark their commitment to the particular path
What I mean to say is that the time Kabir ji worte this bani , going bald or keeping long hair marked and signified the following of the particular tradition by the various people of that time.
Now we will try to understand that what Bhagat Kabir want to convey in this Vaak
The duality/love for worldly things depart only when you start loving the one ( Akal)
whether you keep long hair or make your head bald it does not matter.

So Kabir ji says that which ever spirtual path you are following the way to get rid of worldly love is loving the one ,nothing else is going to help
For a sikh who is keeping long hair in line with teaching of his Guru ,the way to get rid of duality is loving the one akal not jsut keeping long hair
