Satguru Kabir Dev

The weaver of Kashi whose words still guide millions.

Kabir Sahib appeared in Kashi in 1398 CE, found as an infant on a lotus in the Lahartara pond, and lived among the weavers of Kashi for 120 years. His couplets — simple, direct and fearless — are still sung in every corner of India.

Followers of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj regard Kabir Sahib as the Supreme God described in the scriptures, who comes in every age to give true knowledge.
The Rigveda speaks of ‘Kavir Dev’; the Quran of ‘Allah Kabir’; the Guru Granth Sahib names ‘Kabir’ as the Lord.
His departure from Maghar in 1518 CE — where only flowers were found in place of his body — is remembered by Hindus and Muslims alike.

Amritvani

कबीर, मानुष जन्म दुर्लभ है, मिले न बारम्बार। तरुवर से पत्ता टूट गिरे, बहुर न लगता डार॥

Human birth is rare and does not come again and again — just as a leaf that falls from the tree never returns to the branch.

Kabir SahibAmritvani
दुःख में सुमिरन सब करें, सुख में करे न कोय। जो सुख में सुमिरन करे, तो दुःख काहे को होय॥

Everyone remembers God in sorrow, no one in joy. Whoever remembers Him in joy — why would sorrow ever come?

Kabir SahibAmritvani
पोथी पढ़ि पढ़ि जग मुआ, पंडित भया न कोय। ढाई आखर प्रेम का, पढ़े सो पंडित होय॥

The world died reading books and none became wise. One who reads the two and a half letters of love is truly learned.

Kabir SahibAmritvani
बुरा जो देखन मैं चला, बुरा न मिलिया कोय। जो दिल खोजा आपना, मुझसे बुरा न कोय॥

I went looking for the wicked and found none. When I searched my own heart, I found no one worse than me.

Kabir SahibAmritvani
काल करे सो आज कर, आज करे सो अब। पल में परलय होएगी, बहुरि करेगा कब॥

Do tomorrow’s work today and today’s work now. The end may come in a moment — when will you do it then?

Kabir SahibAmritvani
साईं इतना दीजिए, जा में कुटुम समाय। मैं भी भूखा ना रहूँ, साधु न भूखा जाय॥

Lord, give me only enough to keep my family — so that I do not go hungry, and no saint leaves my door hungry.
