Once, as he was pressed hard by the repeated requests of his wife to take care of the household, he wove a sari with great efforts. With an intention of selling it, Kabir, the bhakta reached the market with that sari and sat in a place. His mind, which stood above the material world, did not take interest in business. Involuntarily, it got fixed at the holy feet of Lord Shri Rama. Many people came, made enquiries to Kabir about the price of the sari, got no reply, and hence went away thinking that he was fast asleep. When Kabir regained consciousness, he realized that night had befallen and all have left the market place. Hence the mahatma too went homeward.
