Representaion Supposing Books The Bijak of Kabir

"First the pain of separation, then the thirst for Love"
says Kabir, "only then will you know Joy of the Union".


Bijak: means a document containing sacred texts. And it is one of the earliest of the major texts in modern Hindi. Kabir suggested that True God is with the person who is on the path of righteousness, considered all creatures on earth as his own self, and who is passively detached from the affairs of the world. Kabir was an enlightened saint and this work actually contains his couplets and verses - which are full of wisdom and insights - which will sound paradoxical but so obvious at the same time. The work is a timeless classic.

The basic religious principles Kabir espouses are simple. According to Kabir, all life is an interplay of two spiritual principles. One is the personal soul (Jivatma) and the other is God (Paramatma). It is Kabir's view that salvation is the process of bringing into union these two divine principles.

The social and practical manifestation of Kabir's philosophy has rung through the ages. It represented a synthesis of Hindu, and Muslim concepts. From Hinduism he accepts the concept of reincarnation and the law of Karma. From Islam he takes the affirmation of the single god and the rejection of caste system and idolatry. Not only has Kabir influenced Muslims and Hindus but he is one of the major inspirations behind Sikhism as well. Kabir has written much poetry and song. His lyrics are characterized by a free use of the vernacular, and is unfettered by the grammatical bonds of his day. It is this quality which has made his philosophy accessible to generations of Indians.

Weigh Up About Books The Bijak of Kabir

Kabir is my favourite

This translation is really amazing, and the commentary also illuminating, and in a very radical kind of English, not shying away from a rich way of bringing the paradoxical poems of Kabir, with their often almost "surreal" upside-downness, to life. Koan-like, in that by a clash of opposites, irrational positings, we're brought even somewhat breathlessly close to his meanings... And his voice is here very human, very familiar-seeming, without resorting to an academic literalness, yet very

One of the greatest poets ever....

"The mind dwells in front of the eyesAnd run with every blink.In the three words mind is kingEveryone worships mind..Had a great rainy day over books and tea. Ah, meet Kabir! the blind poet from India who has been well-known for hundreds years for his poetry. He is considered as one of the saints in Indian poetry along with Mirabai and Surdas. His poems are very meaningful especially those related to birth, life and death. In my personal opinion, Kabir is like Persian Rumi or Roman Marcus

We've been reading and learning Kabir's dohas since childhood. I believe, each one of us know at least one or two saying by Kabir. What makes this book special is the stylistics analysis of Kabir's work. Need to read it several times. The book makes explicit the rhetoric of Kabir; explores the mechanisms of "how" and "why" he says something. Linda Hess is amazing.

THE MOST radical motherfucker. This verse leaves me reeling.
