St Kabeer's Couplets 28: Blibd Faith Begets No God Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

If stone-worship helps me gain God,
I'd worship any a mount odd,
It's grinding stones that the world eats,
But no one as deity them treats.___________________________________________________________

Given here under is the original couplet in Hindi script, and its transliteration in English Roman.
पाथर पूजे हरि मिले, तो मैं पूजू पहाड़;
घर की चाकी कोई ना पूजे, जाको पीस खाए संसार.
Pāthar pūje hari mile to maen pūjū pahāđ,
Ghar kī chākī koī nā pūje, jāko pīs khāye sansār.

Kabeer says: if by worshipping stony idols one really realizes God, I would worship whole of a mountain. Yet, the irony is that no one worships grinding stones with whose help people get to eat. Mindless worship is meaningless.
