by Swami Rama & Robert Regli.It is said that every poet has a touch of mysticism, but Kabir’s poetry is both highly mystical and at the same time realistic. Kabir drew from many sources and synthesized the best from each to create a poetry that appeals to many diverse cultures. The appeal to us, as individuals, is that the lessons offered by Kabir are as appropriate to the modern world as the fifteenth century. This timeless quality pervades the poetry and provides an essential connection for us between individual and absolute reality.Kabir was a great Indian sage, seer, and poet who lived five hundred years ago.
