Kabir was a "truthseeker" who proclaimed the love of God and the brotherhood (and sisterhood) of all human beings. He came from an Islamic heritage and lived in a Muslim-dominated area of north India in the early 15th century. Although Muslim in background, his writings reflects an understanding of God's love and grace consistent with Scripture.

A weaver by trade, Kabir wrote poems, songs and proverbs reflecting a keen insight into the relationship between God and humanity. Many of his poems are focused on equality and justice, and often take up themes such as the protection of the oppressed, feeding of the hungry and the rights of women.

For the last 500 years, Kabir's writings have been recited by millions of North Indians. These poems and songs are revelations of the True God to the peoples of India. They speak truth about God's love, His salvation, and His hope for all of India.

Kabir's writings are yet another demonstration that God has been working in India to "draw all peoples to Himself."

Following are a few of Kabir's writings demonstrating God's love for his children, and our need to love and honor one another:

"The real saint is the one who identifies himself with the pain of others;
Those who do not know others' pain are infidels, sinners."

"Write these two things down:
Worship the Lord and feed the hungry."

"You are the omniscient, You are the only help for my soul;
If you let go of my hand, who else can redeem me?"
