One without virtues or attributes.




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.
