God does not love any person for his/her out appearance and riches. Human beings pay attention to material things. To prove this, the pot/speaker mentioned about a text found by an old religious man that proves that only God can love a person for himself/herself. We should not expect the same from human beings. Human beings prefer to see only outward beauty. The speaker tells that only God can be so great as to avoid external beauty and look beyond it. Man, on the other hand, falls for the things that appear pretty from outside and never bothers about what lies inside. The poet wants to say that it is a truth since time immemorial that men can not easily judge women on anything other than their looks.
