KABIR
The period of Kabir begins from 1398 to 1518.Kabir was a poet of the "bhakti kaal".He belongs to the school of "gyanasray".It is said that Ramanad was his guru.He believed in god without any form or as we say the nirakar eswar.He was against the religious and social conflicts.He opposed idol worship and external showoff and social discrimination etc.Beejak is one of his books which consist of three parts that is Tha Sakhi, The Sabad and The Ramaini.He used different languges like Avadhi, Punjabi, Rajastani and Bhojpuri etc.Thats why Kbir's language is known as "panchamel khichadi".
SAKHI
Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye
Always speak so sweet that our heart feels the bliss and coolness and never be rude to anyone. Speaking sweet words makes others cool and blissful and so it does to the speaker.
Kasturee kunDali basai, Mrig DhunDhe ban maahi.
Aise ghaTi-ghaTi Ram hain, duniyaa bujhe naahi.
The deer has Kasturi (material of sweet fragrance) in his novel, but he doesn’t know it. He runs one jungle to another searching the source of it. The same way our Lord prevails in everyone but this world is un-aware of HIM and is running one place to another to find HIM.

Jab main tha tab hari nahi, ab hari hain main naahi.
Prem galee ati saankaree, taame do na samaahi.
Till I existed, GOD was not there, now GOD exists and I am nowhere. This path of love is so narrow, two can’t exist together. Either “I” will be there or HE. Kabir is trying to explain the state of realization. When our ego drops, only then we are able to see HIS full glory, because we are not separate, we are ONE with HIM, the moment our separation drops, only He exists and shows up………

Sukhiya sab sansaar hai, khaabe aur sobe.
Dukhiya das Kabir hai, jaage aur rowe.
(Kabir lost his home in this world, in search of his beloved.) He is still unable to meet his love and he sees that whole the world is happy eating in days and sleeping in nights. What to say about Kabir who wakes up in nights and weeps for his beloved (without whom Kabir can’t find peace and happiness).

Birah bhuvangam tan base, mantra na laage koy.
Raam-biyogee na jiwe, jiwe to bauraa hoy.
This poisonous snake of Birah(is Kabir referring Kundalini here??) entered in my body, now no mantra works on it. (It bites me from within), people say it right- who have felt this separation from Ram, will not survive anymore. Even if they survive, it is sure they will become insane. When this love truly happens to devotee, he starts being aloof from the outer world, and not being able to meet the Lord, he looks like insane. (When he meets the Lord, he becomes saturated with love and bliss, thus even then he looks like insane to the outer world).

Nindak niyre raakhiye, aangana kuTi chhawaay.
Bin pane saabun binaa, nirmal kare subhay
O Kabir, Always welcome and keep your critics near you. You should make a hut for them in your house so you will always get benefited by them. Critics are great cleansers; they make your nature neat and clean without any water and soap. Kabir is very definite about it, that we should always welcome any kind of criticism; even we should seek it from friends and enemies. Criticism makes us realize our faults and problems we need to pay attention and make them clean which otherwise we couldn’t realize. This way critic is more well wisher of us than our fans.

Pothee padhi-padhi jag mua, pundit bhayaa na koy.
Dhai aakhar prem ka, padhe so pandit hoy.
This world died reading books and scriptures, but no one could become Knower (pundit- who knows the mystery of the universe). This is love – two and half letters ofPerm

Ham ghar jaara aapana, liya muraDa* haath.
Ab ghar jaaro taasu ka, jo chale hamaare saath.
Kabir says he has burnt his home, and has taken burning wood in his hand. Now he will burn homes of those who are ready to go ahead with Kabir.
Home represents not only a house but all comfort, attachment and relations as well. Those who want to walk on this path should be ready to go any where, face everything and break all kind of attachment. Home again represents our own home – means stay place of the soul- the physical, astral, casual, super casual and spiritual bodies. Kabir says we need to drop all our layers of existence to see our true self and be one with GOD. He says he burnt his home and his ego-all layers of existence are dropped now and now he will do it to all who want to follow the path. Without doing this, going ahead is impossible.
