 | | Kabir's preaching appealed to common sense and was in ironical and incisive language and this caused the enmity of the Hindu and Muslim religious authorities. | | | Kabir rejected the externals of religion such as Muslim prayer and the Hajj, and Hindu image worship and pilgrimage. | | | Kabir was a master of the "interior religion," which was loving surrender to God who dwelt in the heart. |

| | Kabir´s spiritual urge manifested itself even when he was a boy and it was by using a stratagem that he managed to get initiated in "Rama" mantra by the great saint Ramananda who eventually declared him as the dearest of his disciples. | | | Kabir´s precious teachings are a legacy of the nation and will continue to inspire those who seek the kernel of religion and not the husk. | | | Even as Socrates in his times tried to expose the ignorance of the sophists and earned their wrath, Kabir who lived from 1440 to 1518 AD exposed the follies of the divines who swore by text books and survived many attempts on his life. |

| | Kabir had to live in a society, which was uneducated, having a religion different from that of the rulers. | | | Kabir repeats here the influence of company on man. Justifying the saying "man is known by the company he keeps", he cites the instance of the Palas tree turning into Sandal by its nearness to Sandal. | | | Kabir's belief in this was so strong that even Sri Chaitanya is believed to have gone to see him on his death-bed at Maghar near Benaras. |

| | Kabir |
| | For Kabir, life is an interplay of two spiritual principles, of the personal soul and of God: salvation comes by bringing these two together. | | | Each expressed his or her devotion to a particular deity or, as in Kabir's case, to a more generalised divinity, when they were often critical of dogma, rituals and the caste system. | | | The impression is not the sonorous impersonality of Kalidasa, or the pithy good sense of Bhartrihari, but spiritual truth expressed in the most simple and direct language. |
