It is this quality which has made his philosophy accessible to generations of Indians. His lyrics are characterised by a free use of the vernacular, and is unfettered by the grammatical bonds of his day. Thus, even today, Kabir’s poetry is relevant and helpful in both social and spiritual context. The beauty of Kabir’s poetry is that he picks up situations that surround our daily lives. All of Kabir’s recorded verses are in Hindi. He was never formally educated and was almost completely illiterate. His birth itself is shrouded in mystery, some say he was the son of a Brahman widow, what is known though is that he was brought up in a family of muslim weavers. Kabir was born in Benares, India, probably around the year 1440. An entire raga, Kabir Bhairav has been dedicated to his work. Almost every hindustani classical vocalist aspire to sing the poetry of Kabir, sometime in his or her singing career.
He stands as a unique, saintly, yet very human bridge between the great traditions that live in India. Kabir touches the soul, the conscience, the sense of awareness and the vitality of existence in a manner that is unequalled in both simplicity and style. Kabir is unusual in that he is spiritually significant to Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims alike. Kabir (or Kabir Das), one of India’s most quoted poets and mystics is not easily categorized as a Sufi or a Jogi.
