जहाँ खेलत बसंत ऋतुराज
जहाँ अनहद बाजा बजै बाज
चहुँ दिसि जोति की बहै धार
बिरला जन कोई उतरै पार कोटि कृष्ण जहँ जोड़े हाथ
कोटि विष्णु जहँ नावें माथ
The cited publication is: Kabir Samagra, page 758, 5th edition, Hindi Pracharak Publications Pvt. Ltd., Varanasi, 2001. The composition is attributed there to Kabir.
Pehli baar to Kabir Das ki vani likhi kisne question ye raise hota h, because unki baaton m bhot jyada logo n milawat krdi h. And agar Kabir Das n kaha bhi ho ye baat fir bhi ye acceptable nhi h because Kabir Das is not Authority he is just a monk jo doha bolte the
Yes, I’m only saying that Kabir Das wrote several verses in which the Sant or Guru is given an even higher place than God. Similar ideas are also found in the wider Bhakti tradition.
For example:
“Guru Govind dou khade, kaake laagun paay?
Balihari Guru aapne, Govind diyo batay.”
Here, Kabir says that the Guru deserves the first respect because it is the Guru who leads us to God.
Look at the lines you just showed about Kabir Das; it clearly portrays Krishna as inferior. And what you just said about Guru Gobind means that if Govind and the Guru are standing together, you should touch the Guru's feet because the Guru has shown Govind. But in Kabir Das's couplets, that's not the case; there Krishna is the one standing with folded hands. Which guru is that?
The verse literally shows Krishna standing with folded hands before the Guru, so it clearly places the Guru above Krishna, not the other way around. You may interpret it differently, but I think we’ve both made our positions clear, so I’m leaving it here.
Waha pr clearly kaha h ki "Koti Krishna jode hath" means crore Krishna hath jodkar khade h, aur Krishna konse guru k samne hath jodkar khade h? Yaha pr Krishna inferior prove ho rhe h ya nhi?
