जाति न पूछो साधु की , पुछि लीजिये ज्ञान ।
मोल करो तलवार का, पड़ा रहन दो म्यान ॥
Jaati na pucho sadhu ki, puch lijiye gyan,
Moal karo talwar ka, pada rehan do myan.
अर्थ :- किसी साधु से उसकी जाती मत पूछो , पूछना ह तो उसका ज्ञान पूछ लो,
जैसे मोल-भाव तलवार का करना चाहिए, म्यान का नहीं।
Meaning;- Do not ask caste of a holy man, ask his wisdom,
Bargain the price of sword, leave alone the scabbard
Fools will discuss caste and sadhus/holy man here. But this doha is one of my favorite and have very basic teaching of past which is unfortunately lost today. Here Kabir is saying a good man's identity doest matter(NOT ONLY CASTE), like who he is, where he is from, which family he belongs to, what he do, all these just doesn't matter , what matters is, Is is talking sense.
Thats why he said bargain for the sword, not scabbard. So go for the important thing, and leave whats not important.
Identity of person is not important, his wisdom is.
So its words/views/actions which are important not the person. i.e., If any good person is saying bad thing stand against it and if any bad person is saying good thing support it. Support/revolt is not for/against person but views/action or words.
