Tagore says that God is not just confined to the temple where the devotee sits with his mind all shut. He advises the devotee to give up the chanting, singing and telling of beads. He asks the devotes to open his eyes, come out of ignorance and see that God is not before him. According to him God is found where the tiller is tilling the land and the path-maker is breaking the stones.

He is with them in sun and rain and his garment is covered with dust. The poet asks the devotee to put off his holy mantle, and like god, come down on dusty soil, The poet says that deliverance is not to be found in the temples. God has taken upon himself the bounds of creation and is bound with us forever. So he asks the devotee to give up his meditation and carrying of flowers and incense to the temple and realize that God is in ourselves.

He asks the devotee to join tiller and labour hard with him. No harm is done if our clothes are tattered and stained. The poet thus admonished the devotee for sitting inside the temple with his mind shut and asks him to do socially usefully productive work.
