पोथी पढ़ पढ़ जग मुआ, पंडित भयो न कोई I
ढाई आखर प्रेम के, जो पढ़े सो पंडित होए II
It means: People in this world have been reading books throughout their life but fail to get the true wisdom. Kabeer says the essence of wisdom is in love and those who get to know the meaning of love are the wise men.

Tulsidas Doha
आवत ही हर्षे नहीं, नैनन नहीं स्नेह
तुलसी तहां न जाइये, कन्चन बर्से मेह
This doha is a guideline by famous saint Tulsidas for common man in his day to day behaviour. Tulsidas has re-written Ramayana in prakrat for common man.
It says: When there is no happiness or love in eyes of your host, then one should not go there, even if the host/ place is very rich i.e. there is gold raining over there.

Kabeer Doha
गुरु गोविन्द दोउ खडे, काके लागूं पाऐ
बलिहारि गुरु आपकी, गोविन्द दियो बताये
The student is asking- the Teacher and God are both standing infront of him and he is confused as to whom to bow first. Since Teacher has taught him about God, he is thankful to him.
The doha implicit the importance given to the Teacher or the Acharya in Indian tradition, where he is placed above God; because of his work of enlightening the student on the presence of God.
