The stone idols have drowned the world

Kabeer, some buy idols and worship them; In their stubborn- mindedness, they make pilgrimages to sacred shrines.

They look at one another, and wear religious robes, but they are deluded and lost.
Kabeer, someone sets up a stone idol and the entire world worships it as the Lord.

Those who hold to this belief will be drowned in the river of darkness.

Kabeer, the paper is the prison, and the ink of rituals are the bars on the windows.
The stone idols have drowned the world, and the pandits, the religious scholars, have plundered it on the way.

--Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Shaloks Of Kabeer Jee:, p. 1371.
