Kabir (2) - Selected Verses and Teachings for Meditation - Sufi Mysticism - Hindu Bhakti

A selection of Kabir quotes and pointers intended for contemplation and meditation.
Though little is known of the life of the 15th-century Indian mystic and poet Kabir, it is believed he was born in or near Benares. He grew up in a family of Muslim weavers before becoming a disciple of the Hindu ascetic Ramananda. Kabir is considered both a Sufi and Brahmin saint.
His poetry draws on both Hinduism and Islam, though he was critical of certain aspects of both faiths. Some of his verses are included in the compilation of Sikh scriptures known as the Adi Granth. His mystical poems are grounded in the details and earthly particulars of everyday life.
Kabir is not easily categorized as a Sufi or a Yogi -- he is all of these. He is revered by Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs. He stands as a unique, saintly, yet very human, bridge between the great traditions that live in India. Kabir says of himself that he is, "at once the child of Allah and Ram".

Dear Listeners, this recording has some copyrighted music in the video so YT plays ADS to collect revenue for the record company. Sorry about that. There are many ways to overcome this on your end though. You can pay for a KZbin Premium subscription and have no ads appear on any videos. Or you can simply install an adblocker on your device (search Google for them - many are free). *Change your browser to Brave browser* - it blocks all ads on all sites. This is the best solution I have found and have installed it on my Android and it works a treat to block ads on all websites. It works on PCs, Androids, and iphone. Here's the link to download and install: brave.com/ The other easy option is to listen to my recordings (and download if you wish) either on my Google Drive or the many Podcast platforms where there are no ads. You can find links to all of these in the top right-hand corner from my Home page on my You Tube channel. Hope you can find some good options. The ads will only appear on those readings where the music is copyrighted and I am trying to avoid this now as much as possible these days. Warm regards

As a son of the Sun, a twin to the stars, I wish to openly and freely give to you, my most sincerest gratitude. For it was you whom came along and opened my eyes, whilst I lay there blind. You have given me sight once again. Thank you

My grandma passed last night. Was by her side when she passed. Then felt like looking for your channel again. What a blessing to listen to this today. 🙏💗

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Hi Tosh, I hope your grandma's transition was peaceful and smooth. What a blessing that you could be by her side to support her with your loving presence and wisdom. That moment is a blessing for both the dying and the one who has the fortune to be in their presence - such a powerful and heart opening experience. My time by my mum's and sister's side as they were dying opens up so much awareness and insight, and just so much more that can't be put into words. May the spirit of Kabir's swan gently guide your grandma's spirit to her liberation.

[@RamKumar-yi6wn]

Hi can anyone please explain the bird analogy in the beginning of the video ?

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Hi Ram, Kabir is referring here to the 'bird on this body tree' as a metaphor for the Divine Presence, Truth, or Beloved within us all that is hidden, mysterious, and for most of us unknown. Kabir is urging us to listen deeply within our hearts to discover this bird as: "It lives within the Unreachable, the Boundless, the Eternal. And no one can tell when it comes or when it goes. Kabir says, “Fellow seeker, The mystery of this bird Is marvelous and profound. Be wise; struggle to know Where this bird comes to rest.”

[@RamKumar-yi6wn]

@@SamaneriJayasara Ah thank you very much for the clarification.

[@kawzithabeka628]

@@SamaneriJayasara truly this is beautiful! I am a benedictine monk and I am realy shocked at this poetry for it is parallel to christian spirituality no doubt the bird is the presence of the Holy Spirit.
