Jain and John B. Hare "Songs of Kabir" by Kabir, translated by Rabindranath Tagore, is a collection of mystical poetry written around the 15th century. The work presents the profound spirituality of Kabir, who was a weaver by trade and a revolutionary thinker, emphasizing a universal love for God that transcends religious boundaries. His verses articulate the essential oneness of the divine found in both Hinduism and Islam, inviting readers to seek the divine within themselves rather than in external rituals or institutions. The opening of this collection provides valuable context about Kabir's life and teachings, highlighting his role as a disciple of the Hindu saint Râmânanda and his intention to bridge the gaps between different faiths. Kabir’s songs exclaim that divine presence is inherent in all beings and call for a direct, personal relationship with God, free from the intercession of rituals and dogmas. His vivid imagery and straightforward language make these profound insights accessible, focusing on themes of love, unity, and realization over traditional distinctions, setting the tone for the spiritually enriching verses that follow.
