About Sant Kabir
Sant Kabir is considered to be one of the greatest poets as well as mystics ever born in India. He believed that human beings are equal and being one with God is the ultimate aim of every individual. His love and devotion towards the Supreme One clearly reflects in his poetry. The Holy Guru Granth Sahib contains over 500 verses by the great saint, Kabir. The verses or dohas of Guru Kabir are still read by people with awe and admiration. Read on to explore the biography of Sant Kabir further.
Early Life
As per the life history of Saint Kabir, he was born in 1398 AD. It is said that he was found floating on a lotus leaf in a tank in Benaras by a Muslim weaver. The weaver took the vulnerable child under his care and following the traditional manner, gave him the name of 'Kabir', meaning 'the great one'. Even at a young age, Kabir displayed enormous spiritual talent.
Meeting his Guru
Kabir always wanted to become a disciple of Ramanand. However, since he was a Muslim, it was next to impossible for him to get initiation from a Hindu. So, he took recourse to a trick. Ramanand daily went to the bathing ghat for his pre-dawn ritual ablutions. Kabir lay on the steps of the ghat in such a way that Ramanand stepped on him. Shocked at this incident, he chanted 'Rama! Rama!'. Kabir said that since he had received teachings from him, in the form of the words 'Rama! Rama!', he was Ramanand's disciple. Impressed with the intelligence of Kabir, Ramanand took him as his disciple.
Kabir Philosophy
Kabir's poetry is a reflection of his philosophy about life. His writings were mainly based on the concept of reincarnation and karma. Kabir's philosophy about life was very clear-cut. He believed in living life in a very simplistic manner. He had a strong faith in the concept of oneness of God. He advocated the notion of Koi bole Ram Ram Koi Khudai.... The basic idea was to spread the message that whether you chant the name of Hindu God or Muslim God, the fact is that there is only one God who is the creator of this beautiful world.
COMMUNITY Kabir Panthi Kabirpanthis: An Indian community comprising of Hindu ancestry
which recognises Kabir as their Prophet. The ritual life of the community
displays it's dual origins. They are numerous in provinces of Upper and Central
India, notably in Uttar Pradesh extending into Bihar.
It claims to be a spiritual organization dedicated to unite Hindu traditions and sustain peace between them.
They in a way can be compared to the Syrian Druze tradition in which a
Christian or a Muslim can be a part.
Practices and Beliefs
Considering that Nanak Sahib pressed straight and further on the mission which
Kabir Sahib had relentlessly pursued till he blended with Akaal Purukh, and
that Kabir Sahib verses are generously present in Gurbani
with much larger account of his Bani being freely available beyond Guru Granth
Sahib, the spirit of their beliefs smoothly blends into Gurmat. Some
Sikh scholars have advanced the the thought that of considering Kabir Sahib as
the originator of Sikhism.
Unfortunately somehow the community seems have got isolated from mainstream
Sikhism for two reasons :-
Geographically this community being some thing like tiny islands in the staunch majority community (Hindus) dedicated to Idol worship and brahmanic ritualistic & anti Gurmat ways.
neecha andar neech jaat neechy hun ati neech nank tin ky sang saath
vadiyan sio kia rees"
Sikh polity...
maintaining a 'could not care less' attitude & not extending a helping hand to this isolated community.
maintaining a stratigic & sustainable socio-political association with anti Gurmat forces.
Kabirpanthis are required to observe sanctity, purity and truthfulness in
their daily lives and behaviour. They believe that good behaviour and
meditation on the virtues of God are the methods of finding fulfilment and salvation.
Those who are literate read their holy books, which contain the messages of
Sant Kabir. On their own strength some of them are now learning to read and
write because they have been so swayed by the teachings of Kabir.
Due to anti-Gurmat socio political forces, regulated and aimed at the world
known policy of 'divide and rule', keep the masses ignorant of reality. Some of
the traditional rituals, unlike Sikhism which is devoid of any of these, still
stick on to the community. Typical examples are:-
Kabirpanthis wear small rosaries made from Tulsi - believed to be a sacred Hindu plant.
During their religious ceremonies, they sing praise songs to the music of cymbals, and the guru recites morning and evening prayers.
Lay persons must be cremated according to Hindu law, and priests must be buried according to Islamic law.
God is commonly called "sat sahib" or "kabir sahib". Kabir sahib is himself considered the supereme power.
Kabirpanthis practice Sahaja Yoga which was instigated by Kabir himself.
Kabirpanthi priests are called Mahant.
SCRIPTURE
The Sacred book of the Kabirpanthi religion is the Bijak, many jumbled
passages from which are preserved in the Guru Granth Sahib although. The
contents of the Bijak cannot be classified as Hindu, Muslim, or Sant. In a
blunt and uncompromising style the book exhorts its readers to shed their
delusions, pretensions, and orthodoxies in favor of a direct experience of
truth. It satirized hypocrisy, greed, and violence, especially among the
religious. The Bījak includes three main sections called Ramainī, Shabda, and
Sākhī, and a fourth section containing miscellaneous folksong forms. Most of
the Kabir material has been popularized through the song form known as Shabda
(or pada), and through the aphoristic two-line sākhī (or doha) that serves
throughout north India as a vehicle for popular wisdom. Kabir gave the essence
of all Holy Scriptures in simple Sakhis, which are couplets with musical
rhythm. His Sakhis are so important that they are accepted as supreme testimony
of profound spiritual truth.
Being a project engineer is not a very easy job. Most of the people think that a project engineer job is very interesting and adventurous. You learn a lot as compared to other fields. If you work in a project you come to know the work very deep, you become more knowledgeful and your chance of getting a better job with high paid salary are more than others.
Yes they are right, but they probably don’t know the other facts of the job. My topic is to bring in front of all the same facts which I think everyone should know.
Being project engineer you get to work on different types of projects and different atmosphere which make work more interesting. You get to learn more as you face different problems on site and the work pressure is high. You have to complete the work within the target date. If the target is not completed and the work gets extended then many types of commercial and technical problems start coming which ultimately results in increase of estimated project cost which is loss to both side i.e. customer/client and the company which is executing the project.
Mind you the work is very hectic and you have to be perfect in your job because you are giving a fresh start to the job, what I mean to say is that you are going to start a job (i.e.machine/process/industry/etc. ) or whatever the nature of job is for the first time and if anything goes wrong you are responsible for it. Many questions can be raised that what is the reason for failure because most of the time we use the new equipments, machinery, material and if it is not working in the first attempt then how it going to work in future or for the long time specially when everything becomes old or used.
Many new types of problems come in your way and are challenging too. Most of the time you face a problem which you come to know for the first time in your career. As you are on site you are many times it is not possible to contact the other person for help.
Below are the given points which is a real picture of a life of a project engineer.
1. When you reach on site nothing is ready. You have to start.
2. Many times you have to go to remote areas.
3. You have to face problems related to food, shelter and medium of communications as well.
4. Sometimes clients are not cooperative.
5. People you get to work with are very contrasting in nature. Most of the time you have to handle illiterate or low grade manpower. You also get unskilled people to work with.
6. Un hygienic conditions and unhealthy atmosphere.
7. Shortage of funds, manpower and material. You have to wait till the material comes at the site and your work gets hampered due to it.
8. You have to stay away from home for a long time. Also you sometimes have to go to consecutive sites.
9. Most of the time you have to work overtime for hours to complete the job within target.
10. Safety is the most important thing. Safety of your own and the people you are working with.
Now I think after reading this people will start thinking in a different way.
The field of project engineer is for those who are willing for a challenging career in any field.
If you are willing to become a project engineer please be ready for the challenging future.
