In the court of the Lord only the practice of Naam counts and only time spent in meditation is fruitful. Kabir says that men, gods and deities are all infatuated with the wiles of Maya. Only the devotee of Naam overcomes the obstacles of mind and maya, attains true detachment and peace within himself, and crosses the ocean of phenomena to his true home.

Only the day spent
In repetition of the Lord's Name
Is reckoned fruitful
In the court of the Lord.
He who is absorbed in the Name,
The Lord is always with him
As his companion.

The day spent in repetition
Alone counts in the Lord's court.

Ceaselessly burns the lamp of Maya,
And men and gods, like moths,
Rush blindly into its flames.

Having attained the state
Of poise and detachment,
Kabir, the Lord's slave,
Has swum across the ocean
And reached the haven.

K.G., p. 112:185
