Question

How can we say that kabirdas wanted people all religions to live in a harmony

Answer 1

Though there is no clear evidence to lead you to the fact that when this Great Hindi Saint was born in, yet there are some facts and contemporary readings that take Historians to say that Kabir Das was born in the year 1440. It is said that Kabir was born Lahartara village of Varanasi to a poor Brahmin widow and she left him with the fear of stigmatization by the society at a secluded place. Then a Muslim weaver couple (Julaha), named Niru and Nima brought the abandoned boy at home as they did not have any child of their own. Thus, Kabir was born to a Hindu and brought up by a Muslim family. Kabir was trained to weaving his traditional way to livelihood and he did it forever. Kabir balanced his livelihood and spiritual learning. Later, when he grew older he went to St. Ramananda for knowledge as the poor weavers did not have any resource of their own to send him to any educational institution. Thanks to old Indian Educational System of Ashrama where no fee was charged from poor and every one was given a fair chance to learn. Besides it was also ensured by the teacher that no type of bias should exist at Ashrama. The great teacher Ramananda or say St. Ramananda taught his disciple all he could and trained him to be a spiritual being. Kabir had a great respect for his Guru as he says himself:

Guru Govind dou khade kake lahu pay
Balihari guru apne govind diyo batay

Unlike educational system of modern era at that time education was focused on learning not much writing and copying. But it does not mean that writing was not institutionalized. So Kabir Das got knowledge but he himself was not able to write throughout his life. As he says himself;

“Masi Kagad chuyo nahi, kalam gahi nahi hath.”

Translates to

“I have not touched ink and paper, not held pen.”

He preached about real knowledge and divine, the evils crept into the society and much more that is still relevant. He was never a proponent of religions. Though people try to divide him in Hindu and in Muslim Kabir never identified himself as Hindu or Muslim. He taught his followers that there is no religion and god exists in all living being either you believe in Hinduism or Islam or Christianity or any other. As reflected in lines:

“Na mai mandir, na mai maszid,
Na kaabe kailash mein..
Moko kaha dhundhe re bande mai to tere pas mein”

Translates that

“I’m not in temple, not in mosque, not in Kaaba (Pilgrimage of Muslims) or Kailasha (Pilgrimage of Hindus), where are you searching me I’m near you.”

Birth Anniversary of Kabir : It is considered that the great poet, Saint Kabir Das, was born in the month of Jyestha on Purnima or Full Moon in the year 1440. That’s why Saint Kabir Das Jayanti or birthday anniversary is celebrated every year with great enthusiasm by his followers and lovers on the Purnima of Hindi month of Jyestha that falls in May or June.

Speaking from experience, I have had no problem living among Muslims and living and working with Muslim colleagues. People all over the world do it every day. The Hebrew scriptures alsorefer to utterly annihilating people not belonging to the Israelites and there are some extremely racist portions of the Talmud. Very small branches of Judaism adhere to this violent racist ideology, but very few people demonize all Jews because of these passages, because they look at the history of Judaism and they look at who the Jewish people really are todayinstead media and internet propaganda about Jews. And for all the love and “turn the other cheek” in my Christian scriptures, Christians have been responsible fora heck of a lot of genocide.
