Sant Kabir Das Maharaj

Pranams at the lotus feet of Kabir Das Maharaj!

 Chapter – 5

The great Sant Kabir Das felt the presence of the supreme spirit in all the religions and beliefs; he worked hard to break the differences between the Hinduism and Islam, and brought communal harmony, he propagates the requirements of humility and righteousness in every religion.  There is no faith superior without righteousness, he emphasized people to follow modesty, love, and kindness.  Kabir Das became much loved by Ramananda and obtained permission to meet Acharyaji in his hermitage any time, though his disciples were not happy with this arrangement, they were not willing to accept a Muslim enter in the Hermitage.

Once Kabir Das arrived in the hermitage while Swamiji was in the worship of Lord Rama, he called out and asked Swamiji is there anything required to complete the worship, Swamiji did not notice that there was Tulsi leaves missing in the veneration of Rama, which was considered as essential for the worship, Kabir said “There are no Tulsi leaves. I have brought some Tulsi leaves for your worship, shall I come inside?”  Ramanandji happily permitted Kabir inside his chamber.  Kabir informed he brought a man of low caste with him, Swamiji advised: “Everyone can enter in this hermitage, the heart should be pure and objective should be superior.”  Kabir asked, “ Guruji, devotion is essential, is that necessary to worship an idol?”  Guruji replied, “Once the devotion attains the highest of state, then there is no need for the idol worship, Nama Smaran is enough.”
