# Kabir

> A 15th-century weaver-poet from Varanasi who carved out space between Hinduism and Islam by attacking both. His verses landed in the Sikh scripture, sparked a lasting sect, and made him a saint claimed by three faiths — none of which he spared from critique.

## Bio

Kabir was born in Varanasi and became a disciple of Ramananda, founder of the Ramanandi Sampradaya. He wrote devotional poetry that tore into what he saw as hollow ritual in Hinduism and Islam alike, earning threats from adherents of both during his lifetime. His path was simpler: truth belongs to whoever walks in righteousness, sees divinity in all things, and sheds the ego. The Bhakti movement absorbed his influence; his words entered the Guru Granth Sahib and other holy texts. When he died, Hindus and Muslims both tried to claim his body. His legacy persists in the Kabir panth, the sect that bears his name, and in the uncomfortable questions he left behind.
