The colours of worldly pleasures and possessions, affections and attachments are dull and easily fade; no worldly joy or happiness lasts forever. The devotee who goes within and tastes the bliss of the inner spiritual regions is dyed in the indelible colour of love and devotion. Intoxicated with bliss he becomes disinterested in worldly pursuits. Kabir says that worldly people, ignorant of the devotee's inner state, look upon him as an abnormal person; but the devotee, unconcerned with what others think or say, remains deeply absorbed in divine love, in a joy which is everlasting.

I absorbed my attention within
And realized my true self;
The colour with which I'm dyed,
That I know is fast, is true.
My mind and soul are imbued
With that brilliant colour,
I am dizzy with joy;
But people say Kabir has gone mad.
These fools know not the divine hue
That pervades all living beings.

In a colour that is constant,
In a hue that will never fade,
In that glorious flush of divine love
Kabir stays forever immersed.
