Not in the hard ways.

As we learn, we know that to realize the Creator, in India, many ways were adopted by spiritual minded people, which led them to go astray without a guide who actually realized Him. On SGGS, 324, Bhagat Kabir guides such people by negating the importance of their paths. Here it is:

ਗਉੜੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ॥

ਨਗਨ ਫਿਰਤ ਜੌ ਪਾਈਐ ਜੋਗੁ ॥ ਬਨ ਕਾ ਮਿਰਗੁ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਸਭੁ ਹੋਗੁ ॥1॥

 Ga-oṛī Kabīr jī.

Nagan firaṯ jou pā-ī-ai jog. Ban kā mirag mukaṯ sabẖ hog. ||1||

Raag Gaurhi, the bani of Bhagat Kabir.

In essence: If by roaming naked one can unite with Ekankar, the deer of forest will be emancipated.

ਕਿਆ ਨਾਗੇ ਕਿਆ ਬਾਧੇ ਚਾਮ ॥ ਜਬ ਨਹੀ ਚੀਨਸਿ ਆਤਮ ਰਾਮ ॥1॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥  

Ki-ā nāge ki-ā bāḏẖe cẖām. Jab nahī cẖīnas āṯam rām. ||1|| Rahā-o.

What can be obtained by living naked or wearing animal-skin if Ekankar is not realized? Pause.

ਮੂਡ ਮੁੰਡਾਏ ਜੌ ਸਿਧਿ ਪਾਈ ॥ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਭੇਡ ਨ ਗਈਆ ਕਾਈ ॥2॥

Mūd mundā-e jou siḏẖ pā-ī. Mukṯī bẖed na ga-ī-ā kā-ī. ||2||

If by shaving one’s head, a spiritual perfection is obtained then why not any sheep has salvation?

ਬਿੰਦੁ ਰਾਖਿ ਜੌ ਤਰੀਐ ਭਾਈ ॥ ਖੁਸਰੈ ਕਿਉ ਨ ਪਰਮ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥3॥  

Binḏ rākẖ jou ṯarī-ai bẖā-ī. Kẖusrai ki-o na param gaṯ pā-ī. ||3||

If by becoming celibate one gets saved, why should not a eunuch get liberation?

ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਸੁਨਹੁ ਨਰ ਭਾਈ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਿਨਿ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥4॥4॥  

Kaho Kabīr sunhu nar bẖā-ī. Rām nām bin kin gaṯ pā-ī. ||4||4||(324)

Kabir says, “Oh Brothers! Without Akalpurakh’s name, whoever obtained salvation?”

Thus, Bhagat Kabir counsels the Creator-seekers to get imbued with His name means to live in His love. How to live in His love is taught by a Guru who has realized Him.
