III. 12. samskirit bhâshâ padhi lînhâ

I have learned the Sanskrit language, so let all men call me
  wise:
But where is the use of this, when I am floating adrift, and
  parched with thirst, and burning with the heat of desire?
To no purpose do you bear on your head this load of pride and
  vanity.
Kabîr says: "Lay it down in the dust, and go forth to meet the
  Beloved. Address Him as your Lord."
