Kabir : The songs of a weaver – 3

Rekha Sahay

I don’t know

What sort of master

You have.

Is he deaf?

That the mullah screech

From the mosque?

Surely he can hear

Even the anklets that tinkle

On an ant’s feet !

You count your beads,

You smear your brow with marks,

You grow long matted locks.

But deep inside yourself

You carry the vicious vicious dagger

Of apostasy –

This isn’t the way

To attain the master!

— Kabir vani

  2. Kabir and Sant Kirpal Singh both came from the highest Plane – they are in fact the makers of competent Masters – Master spoke about Kabir, who had said, ‘I have come from the highest plane and talk with authority’. He had come in the different stages of time: In Golden Age as Satsukrat. In Silver Age as Munindar. In Copper Age as Karuname and in Iron Age as Kabir.
