Their endeavor described in terms of changing a base metal to a pure and valuable gold was itself symbolic for what they were really up to -- to change one's baser nature to a higher and more enlightened state. So Sant Kabir explains the situation this way. He starts by saying that creation is born of Light, and Light is in the creation. All that exists emerged from the Light, the pure intelligence of the Divine. He says that this Light is inside its very own creation. The Divine created everything and the Divine is in everything. And the everything that the Divine gave birth to includes two things: the false and the true. And then Sant Kabir asks the question that nags each and everyone of us, and that is echoed in Gurbani many times. How can we find liberation from fear, from the worries and anxieties that enslave us? Where can we find liberation from fear? So Sant Kabir goes on to point out that we remain entangled. Sin and virtue are the same -- a strange thing to say . It is our obsession with sin and virtue that entangles us in the same way. We remain trapped like rats running back and forth between these two states. We are trapped between wanting to be good, only to fall back into sin in the next breath. Only one thing can appease this fear. Bhagat Kabir tells us to renounce the trap and find the philosopher's stone within -- it is the only virtue. <span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਕਬੀਰ ਨਿਰਗੁਣ ਨਾਮ ਨ ਰੋਸੁ ॥ </span>kabeer niragun naam n ros || Kabeer: O worthless mortal, do not lose the Naam, the Name of the Lord. </span><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਇਸੁ ਪਰਚਾਇ ਪਰਚਿ ਰਹੁ ਏਸੁ ॥੪॥੯॥ </span>eis parachaae parach rahu eaes ||4||9||Keep this mind of yours involved in this involvement. ||4||9|</span></p> </p></blockquote><p></p>
