Kabir (1440 - 1518) (also known as Kabira) was an Indian mystic
who preached an ideal of seeing all of humanity as one. He was
known to be a weaver and later became famed for scorning
religious affiliation, seen as a threat to the elite. His
philosophies and ideas of loving devotion to God are expressed
in metaphor and language from both the Hindu Vedanta and Bhakti
streams and Muslim Sufi ideals. Kabir is also considered one of
the early northern India Sants. He was initiated by Ramananda..
