Now it is time to do or die, you had left your home far behind. You can’t turn to way
back home. Now surrender your head to your Lord, don’t keep a bit doubt and continue
your fight. Kabir indicates here about the seekers who are in the way to search the Lord.
When they are progressed a little, it is worse to look back and live the life they had been
living earlier. Home here is a symbol of this world, this physical plane with all relations,
desires and attachments. When a person totally lives in this illusion, he or she suffers
through sorrows and enjoys joy as well, but then he or she is accustomed to that. People
feel at ease in that case. When a soul is fully realized, it will also be at ease with forever
joy and bliss. But a seeker, who has realized that this world is illusionary and has started
his journey but is in mid way, is in constant danger according to Kabir. There are so
many temptations and after realizing the worthlessness of this world, there is no option to
return and live in this illusion again. That is why Kabir again and again emphasizes to
burn the home, the danger of the journey and the courage and commitment needed for the
journey.
