Kabeer doha

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.
