A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
KabirRead
When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?
Interpretation
True love transcends the formalities of a wedding ceremony.
This quote by Kabir highlights the idea that the essence of love is found in the connection between two individuals, rather than in the external celebration of their union. When the bride and her lover share a deep bond, the extravagance of the wedding party becomes insignificant, suggesting that genuine affection and understanding between partners are far more important than societal expectations or rituals.
