Men worship idols, paintings or symbolic representations of their deity, looking upon them as the Supreme Being. Kabir rejects such forms of worship and says that the Almighty One, the Beloved, pervades every particle of the creation and at the same time is aloof from all. Men have been misled into worshipping various deities, incarnations and symbols as God. Like the wife who has not seen her husband and mistakes other men for her spouse, these devotees prove unfaithful to their Husband, the Lord. Kabir says that only when a seeker meets the perfect Master does he come to know what God is and where and how He can be found.

What is contained by a casket,
O Kabir, cannot be the Lord;
The One who pervades the entire creation,
He indeed is the Lord of all.

K.G., p. 47:36:1

Who remains apart from the creation
Yet enfolds the creation within himself,
Him alone does Kabir worship —
Other than Him, he knows no God.

K.G., p. 47:36:2

Mistaking them for her Spouse,
Many men did the wife adore,
Proving unfaithful to Him;
When the perfect Master she met,
He gave her the secret:
She realized her real Husband.

K.G., p. 47:36:3

K.G., p. 47:36:4

Through worship of the three
The entire world is drifting
In delusion's dark sea;
Says Kabir:
Without the true Name
How can they be ferried
To the shore of bliss?

K.S.S., p. 104:3

He is within the body,
Yet bodiless is He;
In his Spirit form
He pervades countless realms,
Yet He has no colour,
No shape.

K.S.S., p. 105:11

Within the soul in Shabd form
Resides the Unalloyed,
The Invisible One;
Only that seeker sees Him
Who has received from the Master
The gift of Naam.

K.S.S., p. 105:5

In all the three worlds I see Him,
Why do you call Him Imperceptible?
You know not the essence of Shabd
But don holy garbs to deceive others.

K.S.S., p. 105:6

I am weak, He is strong,
So I call Him the Mighty One,
The One Lord of all;
He who dies and takes birth,
To him Kabir will not bow his head.

K.S.S., p. 105:14

The One beyond birth and death
Is the Lord of Kabir;
All glory to that Beloved
Who has fashioned us all.

K.S.S., p. 105:15

Kabir asks his Beloved:
Mighty Lord of worlds big and small!
You have created everything,
And in each particle you dwell;
Lord, tell me the secret
Of how you still remain
Apart from it all.

K.G., p. 67:1
