What has thou seen that thou art thus demented?

What has thou seen that thou art thus demented?

Maya is the stake that pins thee to the world: a woman is the depths of hell.
Bones, skins, and sinews form the cage: the parrot therein is the mind of man.

Brothers, kinsmen, sons and family: by these the life is cramped and dead.
Kabír says, Hear, O brother Sádhus, ruined thou risest from the gamble of the world.
