#OTD we celebrate Kabir Jayanti in remembrance of the great poet that walked this land. Kabir Das was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement and his verses are found in Sikhism's scripture Guru Granth Sahib. 
His early life was in a Muslim family, but he was strongly influenced by his teacher, the Hindu bhakti leader Ramananda.Kabir was born in the Indian city of Varanasi but spent most of his life in the city of Faridabad near Delhi.
Kabir suggested that Truth, which he often called Raam, is with the person who is on the path of righteousness, considered all creatures on earth as his own self, & who is passively detached from the affairs of the world. To know the Truth, one must drop the "I" or the ego.
Kabir's legacy survives and continues through the Kabir panth ("Path of Kabir"), a religious community that recognises him as its founder and is one of the Sant Mat sects. Its members are known as Kabir panthis.
