Excellent piece, dear KBS. Saint Kabir has been prolific in invoking Ram in his bani, which is full of wisdom. Each of his Shahbads in SGGS has the same message, of universality , equality and spirituality, but presented with dexterous variance of examples and arguments. ‘Logan Ram Khilauna Jana’, is, in addition, a very bold statement, which in current times may invite censor (by the very same people who use the ‘Name’- in terms of Guru’s equivalence of Name and Ram, the Almighty, to exploit the sincere seekers of Him). Strange, but so common, most of the tension between peoples is in the name of different interpretations of the True Name. Sant Kabir’s Ram doesn’t have to be confined to a particular temple, nor does He need State’s protection for that. Kya Kashi kya usar Magahar, Ram (h)riday jau hoi.
May Waheguru bestow good sense on the humanity to live peacefully, which is possible if we could differentiate between Need and Greed.

These are also by Bhagat Kabir ji—but not a part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
