The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

  • Sant Kabir Das was born in the city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. He was brought up by a Muslim couple who were weavers by profession.
  • He was a renowned saint, poet and social reformer of India who lived during the 15th century. His esteemed works and poems describe the greatness and oneness of the Supreme Being.
  • Sant Kabir Das was a proponent of the Bhakti Movement.
  • Some of his famous writings include ‘Sakhi Granth’, ‘Anurag Sagar’, ‘Bijak’ and ‘Kabir Granthawali’.
  • After being an illiterate he had written his poems in Hindi mixing with Avadhi, Braj, and Bhojpuri. The poems are called variously as ‘Dohe’, ‘Saloka’ and ‘Sakhi’.
  • Kabir Das tried to coordinate the religions by giving a universal path that could be followed by all human beings.
  • According to him, every life has a relationship with two spiritual principles (Jivatma and Paramatma). His view about the moksha is that it is the process of uniting these two divine principles.
  • He simply followed the oneness of God. In the Dabistan of Mohsin Fani and Ain-i-Akbari of Abul Fazl, he is mentioned as a ‘Muwahid’ (Believer in one God).
  • He always opposed the idea of worshipping the idols and showed clear confidence in Bhakti and Sufi ideas.
  • The major part of his work was collected by the fifth Sikh guru, Guru Arjan Dev.
  • The verses of Kabir Das are found in Sikhism’s scripture Guru Granth Sahib.
