Question

(i) What is the main theme of the song of Kabir?​

Answer 1

Kabir eschewed the formality of organized religions, but sought to find “God" in his own personal truth. This philosophy is in step with people today who seek to find common ground in our various faiths, as opposed to concentrating on the details that build walls and divide us.

Answer 2

Kabir's songs and poems convey the main theme to us that God is everywhere. Kabir is one of the supreme poets of India. He was a poet and saint. He is so famous that he is quoted often.

• His songs and poems give off a marvelous sunny intensity. His writings have significantly influenced the Bhakti movement.
• He had enormous effect on Indian philosophy and on Hindi poetry. Kabir created ageless works.
• His mystical and devotional poetry has been found inspiring by people of many different faiths. He drew images from common life and the universal experience.
• His poems possess an appealing ease. He tried to find mutual ground between Hindus and Muslims.
• Today Kabir is respected by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs alike, and his songs are loved by people of all faiths.
• He was in contradiction of social discrimination and financial exploitation.
• He believed in the Vedantic concept of soul but he rejected Hindu social caste system and Murti-pujan.
• Ideological messages of his poetry fascinated the poor and worried.

The legend is that when they lifted the blanket, they found flowers instead. The Muslim followers buried their half and the Hindu burnt their half. In Maghar, his tomb and samadhi still stand side by side.
