They believed in the one ness of god - god was one despite many names.

They believed in bhakti or total surrender and devotion to god .

They believed in the equality of all human beings . God was inside every person .

They believed that the way to realise god was through simple living and loving and serving others .

They denounced elaborate rituals in religions and spoke against superstitions .

They believed in the prescence of a personal god who could be approached without the help of priests .

They believed that people could pray to bod in thier own simple language and questioned the role of sanskrit as the only language of prayer .

These were of the bhakti saints. The sufi saints were similar .

Just like the bhakti saints the sufi pirs ( saints ) believed in meditation , love and devotion to god rather than in rituals and rigid customs. They expressed thier devotion through dance and music. They were respected greatly by the common people.
