摘要

Kabir Das was a fifteenth-century Indian mystic. Saint Kabir's philosophical tenets were extremely simple. He was known as the guiding spirit of the Bhakti movement. According to Kabir, Braham Nirupan is the ultimate reality called Ni-Akshar, which is only possible through Sar Shabda. Charlotte Vaudeville stated in her book named “Kabir” that Kabir is a weaver, the best-known and the most revered name in Indian tradition (Vaudeville, 1993). By performing service with full loving devotion, one can achieve Sar Shabda and become a Hansa. The liberated soul is blessed and can enjoy the pleasurable experience of Sar Shabda. The iconoclastic Saint Kabir is a symbol of the syncretic culture of India. Kabir refused to say if he was a Hindu or a Muslim. In today's polarized culture, Kabir's vision and love are desperately needed. Caste and religious divisions have exacerbated the fault line in our society. This paper focuses on the concept of Brahma Nirupan and the philosophy of Kabir Das and how in this materialistic world one can seek the ultimate truth while being a part of this world yet not being attached to it.
