A brave man remains unmoved before his enemy, and no one can bind his courage. But in the battlefield of life, Kabir says, such steadfastness is rare.

A brave person does not wear armor, nor does he fear death. The coward turns his back and runs; the brave face challenges head-on.

A coward in the battlefield only brings disgrace. He neither fights nor flees, and his mind is filled with regret.

शूरा चला संग्राम को, कबहुं न देई पीठ। आगा चलि पीछा चलै, ताको मुंह मति दीठ।।२११५।।

The brave advance in battle, never turning their back. If one moves forward and backward, it is visible on their face.

शूरा लरै कमन्‍द ह्वै, धरसों शीहा उतारि। कहै कबीरा मारा मुआ, कहै जो मारहिं मारि।।२११६।।

The brave fight with courage, discarding all fear. Kabir says, whether one is killed or kills, it's the same for those who fight.

When the five elements are mastered, the battlefield becomes a place for the brave. One offers their heart and head, and the divine Ram is pleased.
