About this book✨
A radiant entry in the "Mystics of the East Series", this book offers a lucid summary of the teachings and writings of Kabir, the 15th-century Indian mystic, alongside fresh English translations of his verse by V.K. Sethi. Born into a family of Muslim weavers, Kabir unraveled the spiritual hierarchies of his time with his poetry, which rejects hollow ritual in favor of direct communion with the divine—often likening devotion to the craft of weaving. Neither strictly Hindu nor Muslim, Kabir's voice became a central thread in the fabric of both the Bhakti movement and Sikh spiritual tradition.

Condition✨
This is a 1984 first edition hardcover; one of 11,000 copies printed by letterpress in India. Large format, with a clean dust jacket protected in an archival sleeve. A few interior page tears (still readable), but otherwise in very good vintage condition. Doesn’t appear to have been read before—pages are crisp, corners sharp. A rare and soulful volume.
