Man, a puppet of clay, how he dances?
See, how he looks hither and thither. How he speaks and runs about?
When he acquires anything, he is proud of it but when his wealth is gone then he begins to weep.
In thought, word and deed, he is fascinated by pleasures. So when he perishes he is contained somewhere else.
Ravidass says, the world is a play, my brothers: I have established loving relations with the True Actor i.e. The God.
