Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 http://www.boloji.com/kabir/intro.htm Author Rajendar Krishan Six hundred years ago Kabir was born in India in 1398 AD. He lived for 120 years and is said to have relinquished his body in 1518. This period is also said to be the beginning of Bhakti Movement in India. A weaver by profession, Kabir ranks among the world's greatest poets. Back home in India, he is perhaps the most quoted author. The Holy Guru Granth Sahib contains over 500 verses by Kabir. The Sikh community in particular and others who follow the Holy Granth, hold Kabir in the same reverence as the other ten Gurus. Kabir openly criticized all sects and gave a new direction to the Indian philosophy. This is due to his straight forward approach that has a universal appeal. It is for this reason that Kabir is held in high esteem all over the world. To call Kabir a universal Guru is not an over exaggeration. http://www.boloji.com/kabir/mysticsongs/km6.htm Oh unattached being I am a yogi from many a eons I don't come or go nor do I get erased I relish and enjoy the un-struck Anahat Shabad In every direction I see only a collection and carnival of me I am in everybody and everybody is in me. I am utterly alone I am the Siddha, I am the Samadhi I am the one who remains silent, I am the one who speaks The form is my own form manifesting the formless I am the one who plays with himself Kabir says, listen oh Sadhu, there is no desire anymore I am floating in myself in my own little hut playing effortlessly by own desire Translated by Maalok For more translations see http://www.boloji.com/kabir/mysticsongs/km6.htm ===== /join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, get Real Download. First it gets it all, then you can play it. Your connection is probably too slow to play it live. http://www.real.com/download/ Good luck, Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
