Kabir (1398-1518) was one of the foremost mystical saints of India who lived a simple life of a weaver. He composed hundreds of devotional bhajans and thousands of sakhis or couplets attesting to spiritual life, the immediacy of God in all our hearts, and the simple way of Sahaj Yoga to realize Him. He taught universal brotherhood, equality of all people irrespective of castes, love for all, and to realize God in this life. His teachings can be said to be one of an inner path of awakening to Reality. He taught avoidance of religious hypocrisy, and the practice of Truth an all activities. He is hailed as the father of Hindi poetry, and the originator of Nirgun bhakti (worship of formless God, who is beyond all attributes).
