Kabirdas's dohas are one of my favourites, they rank next to Bihari Satsayi. Also to mention, these dohas now edited into a single corpus of Kabir Granthavali are not the work of a single person, but of multiple identities writing under the seal of Kabir at different times in the Kabirpanthi history. It is safe to assume that the verses in Guru Granth Sahib are the most authentic ones. Also, you will notice a leaning towards Awadhi and local Gangetic dialects in Kabirdas's poetry as compared to bani of Bhagat Kabir of Guru Granth Sahib.

aristotle ji


Many thanks for giving us background on the Kabirgranthvaali. Thought of the Moment really should not turn into "Kabir Vaars" and we probably could use a separate thread just for that topic. It is popular. It is also important to make note that everything written by Kabir or his namesakes is not in SGGS. So thanks for that also.

New thread will probably go into the Punjabyat section later today.

This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.

"Secondly, the highest common factor of the traditional approaches is the pre-dominance of the reductive methodology with the fallacy of import of meanings. Our traditional interpreters have tried to seek meanings of various concepts of Sikhism not within the framework of its own metaphysical co-ordinates, but in the contexts of the earlier systems, mostly of Vedantic orientation, wherein are traced the roots and origins of the Sikhological concepts. What is not realized is that the meaning of a term in one context cannot be reduced to its connotation in another context. A term has no intrinsic meaning which it could carry from one system to another, its meaning is a quality of its context."
