With reference to the teachings and philosophy of Saint Kabir, consider the following statements:
1. Kabir's concept of 'Ram' was identical to the Saguna avatar of Vishnu, the son of King Dasharatha.
2. Several of his verses are incorporated into the Sikh holy scripture, the Adi Granth (Guru Granth Sahib).
3. He rejected both Hindu and Islamic orthodoxies and heavily utilized the esoteric language of the Nath panthis, known as 'Ulatbansi'.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect. Kabir was a Nirguna saint. His 'Ram' was the formless, ultimate reality (Nirankar), not the Saguna avatar (Dasharatha's son). Statements 2 and 3 are correct. His verses are found in the Bijak, Panch Vani, and the Adi Granth. He often used 'Ulatbansi' (upside-down language) to convey mystical experiences.
