Kabir
Bóg nie ma formy i nie należy do żadnej religii ani kasty; rytuały i święte księgi hinduistów i muzułmanów jednakowo mijają to, co znajduje się wewnątrz.
Umiejscowienie
Tkacz i poeta z Benares: jego pieśni wyśmiewają rytuały i święte księgi zarówno hinduistów, jak i muzułmanów i szukają wewnątrz bezkształtnego Boga, otwartego dla wszystkich kast.

Stanowisko
Kabir’s couplets and songs proclaim a God without attributes or form (nirguna), whom he calls Ram, Hari or Allah and who is found within the heart through love, the divine name and the guidance of the true guru. With biting irony he mocked Brahmin and mullah alike, idols and mosques, pilgrimage, fasting and caste: before God all are equal. Which of the thousands of verses ascribed to him are authentic is often uncertain. His poems entered the Sikh scripture and inspired the Kabir Panth; Tagore translated a selection, partly of doubtful authenticity, and Ambedkar counted Kabir, with the Buddha and Phule, among his three teachers.
Życie i kontekst
Kabir grew up in a family of Muslim weavers (julaha) in Benares. His dates are uncertain: tradition gives 1398–1518, and modern estimates range from about 1398–1448 to 1440–1518. He probably could not read or write; his poems were sung and passed on orally. Legend makes him a disciple of the Hindu teacher Ramananda, which historians doubt, and has him die at Maghar, where Hindus and Muslims disputed his body.
