Songs of Kabir

The poet Kabîr is one of the most interesting personalities in the history of Indian mysticism. A great religious reformer the founder of a sect to which nearly a million northern Hindus still belong it is yet supremely as a mystical poet that Kabîr lives for us. A beautiful legend tells us that after his death his Mohammedan and Hindu disciples disputed the possession of his body; which the Mohammedans wished to bury the Hindus to burn. As they argued together Kabîr appeared before them.
