About this stamp
Kabir, a mystic saint of the 15th century, expressed profound wisdom in his poetry, transcending religious divides and emphasizing simple devotion and non-violence. His teachings, a synthesis of Hindu and Muslim thought, condemned bigotry and religious hypocrisy. In one of his couplets, he reflects on the universal quest for spiritual enlightenment, likening it to a journey where those who earnestly seek find fulfillment, even in the depths of the seas. However, Kabir laments his own folly in merely sitting by the banks, failing to embark on the journey himself. His verses, written in accessible Hindi, continue to captivate with their timeless appeal, echoing sentiments of spiritual seekers across generations. This insight into Kabir’s philosophy is drawn from a painting housed in the State Museum, Lucknow.
