All
his life Kabir insisted on the concept of koi bole Ram Ram Koi Khudai.(Anybody
can chant the name of any God.)
In
other words, he never espoused any specific form of God or Lord. For him the
Lord is nirgu ( one without virtues or attributes).
This
very philosophy of his summed up best in this composition of Kabir.In fact
constant insistence on simplicity and directness, the hatred of all
abstractions and philosophizing, the ruthless critism of external religion are
his characteristics.
He
says he will fearlessly sing the attributes. In this context Kabir once again
talk about the body, it’s structuring out of the five elements.
In
all twenty-five derivations of the same, three each virtues (sattve,raja and
tama) and states (awakened,Dreamweaver and sushupti-Deep sleep with
awareness) are the thirty-six ragas that he says he will sing sitting atop the
shunya (Only Being) shikhar (Top), the state where an ascetic reaches oneness
of the soul with the universe.
