'Kabira khada bazaar mein, mange sabki khair
Naa kehu se dosti, Naa kehu se bair'
(Standing in the public square, Kabir wishes all well
No friendships with anyone nor any enmity as well)
Sant Kabir's doha (couplet) urges an impartial approach in public space. While we may have friends or enemies in personal space, in public we have to rise above petty positions.
So often, so many of us are consumed by an arrogance of power that emerges from the public position we hold. We allow the dust of our personal prejudices to affect the need to be fair and just. We end up being non partial.
It is said that 'with great power comes great responsibility'. The ability to have the right response, never mind the stimulus, is responsibility. The person before us is the stimulus but our response should not be affected by who the person is but what is the right thing to do.
Avoid rigid perception to be fair and just
Impartial is the way to be, sans any dust!
