True Heart Poet
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This compilation of works is timeless. The translation tries to captivate the urgency and immediacy of the message of Kabir. There is no time to waste in becoming aware of the limitless and infinite nature of the creation - embodied or disembodied, depending on how you look at it, as RAM. Although the collection lacks thorough notation as to where the each selection is found in the vast body of literature attributed to Kabir - thus it is not a scholarly book in the strictest sense and does not intend to be as the co-auther mentions in the foreword. The illustrations are a beautiful and stress the more esoteric, metaphysical nature of Kabir. Kabir is timeless...his message will be a source of divine inspiration for a millenia to come. This translation will also appeal to the newer generations, because they tend to be more questioning of religious dogma. Kabir stresses the Beyond. Kabir says, that anything short of total and perfect balance of body, mind, spirit is not acceptable. Rare are the individuals who can voice simplicity with complexity with such profound verse. If you were going to read one last book before dying - Read THIS One!!!
