O lord Increate, who will serve Thee?

O lord Increate, who will serve Thee?
Every votary offers his worship to the God of his own creation:
each day he receives service-
None seek Him, the Perfect:
Brahma, the Indivisible Lord.
They believe in ten Avatars;
but no Avatar can be the Infinite Spirit,
for he suffers the results of his deeds:
The Supreme One must be other than this.

The Yogi, the Sanyasi,
the Ascetics, are disputing one with another:

Kabîr says, 'O brother! he who has seen that radiance of love,
he is saved.'

Kabir

1440 — 1518-01-01 · Varanasi

Kabir was a 15th-century Indian mystic and poet whose teachings and verses have profoundly influenced the Bhakti movement and Indian spirituality. He is revered by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs alike for his emphasis on the direct experience of God, transcending religious dogma and ritual. His poetry, known as *dohas* and *padas*, is characterized by its simple yet profound language, often using vivid metaphors from daily life to convey complex spiritual truths. Kabir's work champions religious tolerance, the equality of all beings, and the ultimate unity of the divine. He critiqued the rigid caste system and the superficial practices of organized religion, advocating instead for a personal, heartfelt devotion to the divine. His legacy endures through the Kabir Panth, a spiritual community that follows his teachings, and his verses continue to inspire seekers of truth worldwide.
