KABIR & REFORM: Without fear, without attachments

NIRBHAYA - NIRGUN

A beautiful rendition of the baani of Bhagat Kabir by Kumar Gandharva & Vidushi Vasundhara.

👉Nirbhaya - means without fear
👉Nirgun - meaning without qualities (here..attachments), beyond what we can characterize as something. ex. a person, a gender, an object etc

Nirbhay Nirgun Gun Re Gaunga
Mool Kamal Dradh Aasan Bandhu-ji Ulti Pavan Chadaunga
Man Mamta Ko Thir Kar Laun-ji Pancho Tat Milaunga
Ingala Pingala Sukhman Nadi-ji Tirveni Pe Haun Nahaunga
Panch Pachhison Pakad Mangaun-ji Ek Hi Dor Lagaunga
Shunya Shikhar Par Anhad Baje-ji Raag Chattis Sunaunga
Kahat Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho-ji Jeet Nishan Ghuraunga

Kabir's baani (words) reflect that he was going against the tide of the times. A revolutionary, a social reformer, he writes -
"From the base of the steady Lotus seat, I will make the wind rise in reverse".

Lotus flower thrives in mud and stays above the water, not letting its situation affect its beauty. "From such a state of being, I will effect a revolution", writes Kabir.
