When the disciple is initiated by the Master into the practice of Naam or Shabd and when he learns to open the door of the inner eye with the key of Naam, the melody of Shabd always stays with him. Describing the body as a palanquin and the eye center as the litter, Kabir says that now the disciple stays peacefully at this point and the five palanquin bearers — the five passions that keep moving and driving the body in various directions — have become weak or ineffective. The soul, steeped in divine love, goes to the eye center and enters the inner spiritual regions whenever she wants and there revels in bliss. Free now from the chain of birth and death, she is not required to return to the city of this world any more.

I have found the true Name,
It is always with me
Like a string of pearls
Around my neck.
I now repose
In the narrow litter
Of the palanquin
Whose five bearers
Have become feeble.
My Master has given me
The key to the unyielding lock;
Whenever I like I open the door:
Dressed in the dancing costume of love,
I enter the town whenever I please
And I dance, and dance in ecstasy.
Says Kabir: Listen, friends,
I'll not come to this city again.

K.S., II:74
