Agam Nigam Bodh

Summary of Agam Nigam Bodh

The 36th chapter of Kabir Sagar, titled "Agam Nigam Bodh", begins on page 1691. This chapter encompasses profound knowledge of the Vedas and scriptures and details the accomplishments attained by practitioners of Kaal Brahm's worship. It also lists the names and roles of the nine Naths, 84 Siddhas, eight Siddhis, four types of liberation, 24 incarnations, and the paths of Adi Shankaracharya, including the four monasteries he established and their first heads.

I consistently remind readers of the invaluable knowledge in Kabir Sagar, despite the concerted efforts to distort its truth. By the grace of the Almighty, the truth has been safeguarded. God Kabir revealed the ultimate spiritual wisdom and His true glory to His beloved devotee, Garibdas Ji Maharaj (from Chhudani village, Jhajjar district, Haryana), by taking him to Satlok. This wisdom rectified the distortions introduced by other Kabir Panthi followers under the influence of Kaal.

Through divine grace, an ancient version of Kabir Sagar has been found, allowing the correction of errors and misinterpretations made in later versions. These revelations are supported by evidence and have been made possible through the mercy of Kabir Parmeshwar and the blessings of Guru Swami Ramdevanand Ji. The chapter "Agam Nigam Bodh" begins on page 1691.

Ath Brahm aur Jagat Utpatti Chaupaai

This is written incorrectly. The correct version is as under:

Ath Brahm aur Jagat ki Utpatti

Vaani: "Aadi Brahm ab varan kareu, Aham shabd so chit dhareu.
Tahi shabd kari chit phur aaya, Chit dridhata kari man prakataya."

Summary of Page 2 (1692):

The verses on this page contain some errors. It is written:

"Man te tan maatram mein paancho, Man swaroop Brahm ko baancho.
Man Brahm, Brahma man soi, Jas sankalp kare jas hoi."

Clarification: In the verse, where it mentions "Brahma," it should actually say "Brahm." The term "Brahma" has been written mistakenly. For example, in Anurag Sagar, Prakriti Devi (Durga Ji) explains to Shri Vishnu Ji that "Munn" itself is the doer, "Munn" itself is Jyoti Niranjan, and "Munn" itself is Brahm. Therefore, calling "Munn" as "Brahma" is incorrect.

The Vedas state that from the mouth of Virat Parmatma (Kaal Brahm), Brahmins originated; from the arms, Kshatriyas; from the hands, Vaishyas; and from the feet, Shudras. This description is also found on page 2 (1692) of Agam Nigam Bodh. However, in the verses, it is written as: "Brahma mukh Braahman prakataaye." This is incorrect. In reality, the origin of all four varnas is attributed to "Brahm," not "Brahma."

Furthermore, the Vedas provide additional details about creation. The division into four varnas was established by Svayambhu Manu, who is a descendant of Brahma.

Errors on Page 3 (1693):

The description of Chitragupt on page 3 is also incorrect. In truth, "Chitra" and "Gupt" are separate entities. This has been clarified in earlier chapters as well. On page 3 (1693), they have been merged into one, which is inaccurate. The truth is that Kaal Brahm (Brahm) remains above as a separate entity.

Meaning:
The above verses explain that Chitra and Gupt were distinct entities with separate marriages. Chitra was married to the daughter of Sage Sishrasha, while Gupt was married to the daughter of Manvantar, the grandson of Sage Surya.

Saint Garibdas Ji also mentioned:
"Chitra Gupt do likhwa thadhe"
("Chitra and Gupt are the two writing accounts.")

Pages 4 (1694) - 5 (1695):

These pages describe the four ashrams (Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, and Sannyasi) and the four great sayings (mahavakyas) from the four Vedas, which are followed in the tradition of Shankaracharya:

1. Rigveda: "Prajnanam Brahma" (Knowledge is Brahm).
2. Yajurveda: "Aham Brahmasmi" (I am Brahm).
3. Samaveda: "Tat Tvam Asi" (You are That).
4. Atharvaveda: "Ayam Atma Brahma" (This soul is Brahm).

The essence of all these is: "I, the soul, am Brahm (God)."

Why Agam Nigam Bodh has been narrated by Kabir ji?

Agam Nigam Bodh emphasizes that one should not underestimate Kabir Ji's wisdom. Though perceived as illiterate in worldly terms, Kabir Ji was indeed the Supreme God, as demonstrated by his profound knowledge of all globally renowned religious scriptures. This knowledge makes it clear to the discerning that Kabir Ji was the Supreme Being.

Pages 5-6 (1695 - 1696) mention the names of the Six Scriptures

The names of the six shastras (scriptures) and their creators are listed:

1. Nyaya Shastra: Created by Sage Gautam after studying the Rigveda.
2. Mimamsa Shastra: Created by Sage Jaimini after studying the Yajurveda.
3. Vedanta Shastra: Created by Ved Vyasa after studying the Samaveda.
4. Sankhya Shastra: Created by Sage Kapila after studying the Atharvaveda.
5. Patanjali Shastra: Created by Sage Patanjali after studying Ayurveda.
6. Vaisheshik Shastra: Created by Sage Kanada after studying Artha Veda.

Meaning: The six sages wrote these shastras by interpreting the Vedas according to their own intellect and understanding. Their conclusions vary and do not align with each other.

Summary of Agam Nigam Bodh Page 7 (1697):

The Four Sub-Vedas:

1. Ayurveda: Composed by Sage Dhanvantari and the two Ashwini Kumar sages (Srat and Nasatya). The Ashwini Kumars were born from the mouth of a mare and are the sons of the Sun. This sub-Veda imparts knowledge of medicine.
2. Dhanurveda: Created by Sage Vishwamitra, it imparts knowledge of weaponry and arms.
3. Gandharva Veda: Created by Shri Bharthari Ji, this sub-Veda focuses on music, rhythm, and dance.
4. Artha Veda: Composed by Vishwakarma Ji, it contains knowledge of architecture and wealth generation.

The Knowledge of Four Sub-Vedas Six Limbs (Shat ang):

1. Shiksha Sutra
2. Kalpa Sutra
3. Vyakaran (Grammar)
4. Nirukta (Etymology)

Pages 8 (1698) to 12 (1702):

These pages contain similar information, which Kabir Ji's devotees do not necessarily require.

Page 12 (1702):

Kabir Paramatma Ji explained:

Meaning: Kabir Ji clarified that the four Vedas describe his glory, but the method of worship they prescribe is incomplete. Therefore, one cannot attain him through the practices mentioned in the four Vedas (Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda). The complete method to attain him is described in the Sukshma Veda (Sukshma Gyan = Tatvagyan), which is not included in these Vedas.

• 1,000 Chaturyugas = 14 Manvantaras.
• One Manvantara Duration: 72 Chaturyugas.
• Indra's Reign: One Manvantara = 72 Chaturyugas.

Brahma Ji’s Time Measurement / Age:

One Day of Brahma Ji: One Kalpa = 1,000 Chaturyugas.
(Note: Brahma Ji's day technically consists of 1,008 Chaturyugas, but it is commonly referred to as 1,000 Chaturyugas for simplicity, similar to how we refer to a year as 365 days despite it being 365.25 days).

• One Night of Brahma Ji: 1,000 Chaturyugas.
• One Month of Brahma Ji: 30 day-nights.
• One Year of Brahma Ji: 12 months.

Incorrect Knowledge in Agam Nigam Bodh Page 16 (1706):

The lifespan of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh Ji is inaccurately and incompletely described, attributed to the ignorance of Kabir Panthis.

Correct Knowledge:

• Lifespan of Vishnu: A Vishnu's lifespan ends after the death of 7 Brahmas.
• Lifespan of Shiva: A Shiva's lifespan ends after the death of 7 Vishnus.

Summary of Pages 17 (1707) to 33 (1723):

Includes the names of the 14 Ratnas, five types of yajnas, descriptions of karma, worship, and knowledge as described by Vedantists. However, these are not essential for Kabir Ji's devotees.

The Four Categories of Creation (Yonis):

1. Swetaja: Born of perspiration.
2. Andaja: Born from eggs.
3. Jeraja: Born from the womb.
4. Pindaja: Born from seeds or elements.

How a Soul Takes a Body:

After death, the soul appears before Dharmaraj. Based on its deeds, it is sent to its destined form. The soul enters food (grains or fruits). When a living being consumes that food, the soul enters its semen and, from there, is transferred to the womb during conception, where a body is formed through the union of male and female reproductive elements. When the time comes, the body is born.

• Those destined for heaven acquire divine bodies.
• Those condemned to hell exist in subtle forms and experience hell.
• Those meant for ghostly or ancestral forms assume those bodies.

Errors in Descriptions of Lineages:

Page 25 (1715): Describes inaccuracies in the lineage of Ramanuja.

• When Kabir Sagar was authored by Dhani Dharamdas in Vikram Samvat 1550, the lineage had only reached Ramanuj Swami and his disciple Anantanand.
• Later, Ramanuj Swami adopted Kabir Panth, leaving his previous path. However, Anantanand, driven by ego, did not accept this.

Contradiction: Despite the lineage continuing after Anantanand, how can the names of successors beyond him appear in a document from Vikram Samvat 1550?

Page 26 (1716): Clearly mentions the lineage up to Vikram Samvat 1913, indicating deliberate tampering by the messengers of Kaal. This also reflects their intellectual evolution.

Description of the Lineages of Shiva and Vishnu:

On Page 32 (1722), there is a description of the fifty-two gateways, which is incorrect.

Pages 33 (1723) to 39 (1729):

The Story of Swami Ramanand Ji and Paramatma Sat Kabir Ji:

These pages describe how Paramatma Kabir Ji initiated Swami Ramanand Ji as his disciple. However, the account given in the Agam Nigam Bodh chapter is inaccurate.

For the authentic narrative, refer to the Kabir Charitra Bodh, summary pages 525 to 539.

(This statement is mentioned on Page 34 of the Agam Nigam Bodh.)

Dialogue between Sahib Kabir Ji and Gorakhnath:

At one time, Gorakhnath (a Siddha saint) came to Kashi (Varanasi) to engage in a spiritual discourse (debate) with Swami Ramanand Ji (who was the Guru of Sahib Kabir Ji). During the gathering for the knowledge discourse, Sahib Kabir Ji also accompanied his revered Guru, Swami Ramanand Ji. Swami Ramanand Ji was seated on an elevated seat, while Sahib Kabir Ji (the Complete Supreme God), in the guise of a child, sat at his feet. Gorakhnath, too, sat on an elevated seat, with his trident planted in the ground beside him.

Gorakhnath said, "Ramanand, debate with me." At that moment, child-like Kabir Ji (Complete Brahm) said, "Nath Ji, first debate with me. You can then speak with my Guru afterward."

Verses describing the event:

Gorakhnath questioned Kabir Ji, asking, "You are but a child. When did you become a yogi?" He further asked about Kabir Ji's age and when he became a renunciate.

Gorakhnath's question:

Kabir Ji's response:

Sahib Kabir Ji explained to Gorakhnath how long he had been a renunciate. At that time, Kabir Ji was dressed as a Vaishnav saint, similar to Swami Ramanand Ji's attire, with a sandalwood mark on his forehead, a cap, a pouch, and a spade shaped like the letter 'J' in English, along with a staff.

Kabir Ji said that before any creation existed—neither the temporal creation (Kaal's creation) nor even the eternal creation of Satlok—he (Kabir) existed alone in the Anami Lok (formless realm). It was Kabir Ji who later created the Satlok realm and then Jyoti Niranjan (Kaal)'s creation. He revealed that before the earth existed, his "cap" symbolized his eternal state. Before Brahma (creator of bodies, including Gorakhnath and his Guru Machchhendra Nath) was born, he (Kabir) existed as the eternal Satpurush.

Kabir Ji said that the four ages—Satyug, Treta, Dwapar, and Kaliyug—have passed countless times before him. By following the Guru's teachings and living according to the saintly association, Kabir Ji attained the eternal, immortal abode (Satlok). He revealed to all beings the true essence (Tatvgyan) and instructed that by taking initiation from the complete Guru and meditating on the Supreme God, one could escape the cycle of birth and death and attain the eternal abode.

Upon hearing this, Gorakhnath asked, "But your age seems so young—you appear as a mere child."

Sahib Kabir Ji explained to Gorakhnath Ji since when He became a renunciate. At that time, Kabir Ji had adopted the attire of a Vaishnav saint, similar to the attire of Shri Ramanand Ji. He wore a sandalwood mark on his forehead, a cap, a pouch, a spade (made of wood, shaped like the letter "J" in English, used for devotional purposes), and a staff (a wooden stick).

In His words, Kabir Ji stated that when there was no creation—not even the temporal creation (Kaal's creation) or the eternal creation of Satlok—He (Kabir) existed alone in Anami Lok (the formless realm), and there was no one else. It was Sahib Kabir who created Satlok with His words, and later, the creation of Kaal (Jyoti Niranjan-Brahm) was also crafted by the Satpurush. He said, "Since the time when there was no earth (no physical creation), consider my 'cap' to have existed from that point. Even Brahma—the one who creates the bodies of all beings, including Gorakhnath and his Guru Machchhendra Nath—was not yet born. From that time, I have adorned the sacred mark. In essence, I have always existed as Satpurush, the eternal form."

Kabir Ji further said that the four ages—Satyug, Treta, Dwapar, and Kaliyug—have passed countless times in front of Him. He stated that by abiding by the words of the Satguru and following the teachings, He attained the eternal, immortal abode (Satlok). Kabir Ji conveyed the ultimate truth (Tatvgyan) to all beings, emphasizing that by taking initiation from the Complete Guru and following His guidance throughout one's life, meditating on the Supreme God, one can attain the eternal Satlok and be liberated from the immense suffering caused by the cycle of birth and death.

Hearing this, Gorakhnath Ji asked, "But your age seems so young—you appear as just a child."

Shri Gorakhnath Siddh was given an explanation by Satguru Kabir Sahib regarding His eternal nature and age.

Kabir Sahib said: "Countless ages have passed in dissolution (Pralay), yet I remain present, for I am eternal. Crores of Brahms (Kshar Purush, i.e., Kaal) have faced death and undergone rebirth."

Lifespan Calculations of Divine Entities

1. Brahma’s Age

   • One day of Brahma = 1,000 Chaturyugas (four ages) and an equivalent night.
   • One day and night = 2,000 Chaturyugas.
   • (Note: Within Brahma's one day, the reign of 14 Indras ends. Each Indra’s reign spans 72 Chaturyugas. Thus, technically, Brahma’s one day equals 1,008 Chaturyugas, but for simplification, it is considered 1,000.)
   • One month of Brahma = 30 × 2,000 = 60,000 Chaturyugas.
   • One year of Brahma = 12 × 60,000 = 720,000 Chaturyugas.
   • Total lifespan of Brahma = 720,000 × 100 = 72,000,000 (7.2 crore) Chaturyugas.

2. Vishnu’s Age

   • Vishnu’s lifespan = 7 times that of Brahma.
   • 72,000,000 × 7 = 504,000,000 (50.4 crore) Chaturyugas.

3. Shiva’s Age

   • Shiva’s lifespan = 7 times that of Vishnu.
   • 504,000,000 × 7 = 3,528,000,000 (352.8 crore) Chaturyugas.

Beyond the Lifespan of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva

When 70,000 such Shivas perish, then a single Sadashiv (also known as Jyoti Niranjan or Brahm) also dies. According to the divine order of the Complete God (Satpurush), a Mahapralaya (great dissolution) occurs in one Brahmand. This represents one "day" in the lifespan of Parabrahm.

1. Parabrahm’s Age
   • One day of Parabrahm = 1,000 "ages" (equivalent to the time it takes for one Jyoti Niranjan to perish).
   • One month of Parabrahm = 30 days and nights.
   • One year of Parabrahm = 12 months.
   • Total lifespan = 100 years of Parabrahm.

However, Parabrahm also dies after completing His lifespan. After Parabrahm’s 100 years, a conch is blown, and all Brahmands are destroyed, leaving only Satlok and the three supreme realms above it intact.

Kabir Sahib’s Eternal Nature

Kabir Sahib said: "Crores of Jyoti Niranjans (Kaal-Brahm) have perished, yet My age has not reduced even by a moment. I am truly the Eternal Being. The other gods whom you worship are perishable. If they are mortal, how can you achieve immortality through them?"

Example from the Teachings

• "Arbon to Brahma gaye, 49 koti Kanhaiyya. Saat koti Shambhu gaye, mor ek nahin palaiyya."
  (Crores of Brahmas have perished, 49 crore Krishnas, and 7 crore Shivas have died, yet not a single moment of My existence has ended.)

When 343 crore trilokiya Brahmas perish, 49 crore trilokiya Vishnus, and 70,000 trilokiya Shivas die, then the destruction of 21 Brahmands occurs, and one Jyoti Niranjan (Kaal-Brahm) dies.

Differentiating the Supreme Powers

In the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Verse 16, three entities are described:

1. Kshar Purush: The perishable Brahm (Jyoti Niranjan).
2. Akshar Purush: The imperishable Parabrahm.

Even Akshar Purush (Parabrahm) is ultimately subject to destruction. Over time, countless Kshar Purushes and Akshar Purushes perish. At the ultimate dissolution, all Brahmands are destroyed, leaving only Satlok and the supreme realms above it.

Kabir Sahib’s Revelation
Kabir Sahib, the Eternal Supreme God, declared that He alone is imperishable. The creation will be re-established under the command of the Eternal Truth (Satpurush), and the cycle of Kshar Purush and Akshar Purush’s creation will begin anew.

As stated in Chapter 15, Verse 17 of the Bhagavad Gita, the Supreme Being (Purushottam) is someone else, known as the Eternal Supreme God. That Supreme Brahm, the Eternal Lord, is none other than Satpurush Kabir Sahib. Only Satpurush is the immortal, eternal God, and His abode, Satlok (Satdham), is also eternal and is called the Eternal Realm. By worshiping in Satlok, a devotee's soul attains complete liberation, which is devoid of death forever.

Kabir Sahib explained that this achievement is attained by chanting Satnaam, which is given by a spiritual teacher who reveals its essence, followed by the granting of Sarnaam. A practitioner must then remain in discipline throughout life and chant the three mantras (Om, Tat, and Sat, which are symbolic) to eventually reside in Satlok and attain Satpurush.

Even millions of pure souls like Narad and Muhammad have come and gone, having been born and then perished. The number of deities is beyond count. As for living beings with human forms and other creatures, calculating their numbers is impossible. Kabir Sahib said:

"I am neither old nor a child; I remain youthful, embodying divine energy. Presently, I stand before you in a physical form for a divine play. Kabir says, listen, Gorakh, my age is what I have already described to you above."

Gorakhnath’s Challenge

Hearing this, Shri Gorakhnath Siddh flew with his mystic powers and sat atop the upper portion of a trident embedded approximately 7 feet into the ground. He challenged Kabir Sahib, saying, "If you are so great, rise to my level (about 7 feet above the ground) and speak."

In response, Kabir Sahib replied:
"Nath Ji! We are here for a discussion on knowledge, not for performing stunts. Please come down and deliver the true message of devotion to all the devotees present here."

But Gorakhnath insisted, saying, "You have no powers. You and your Guru are misleading the world. Today, your truth will be revealed. If you have the ability, come up to my level."

Even after Kabir Sahib humbly urged him several times, Gorakhnath persisted. Kabir Sahib then decided to demonstrate His supreme power. From His pocket, He pulled out a reel of raw thread, approximately 150 feet long, and unwound it. Holding one end of the thread, Kabir Sahib tossed the other end into the sky. The entire thread stood upright, extending straight into the heavens.

Kabir Sahib then rose into the air, seated Himself at the top end of the 150-foot thread, and called out:
"Come, Nath Ji! Sit beside me, and let us discuss."

Gorakhnath tried to rise higher but fell to the ground instead.

Siddhis Fail Before the Supreme

Before the Supreme God (Supreme Brahm), all mystical powers become ineffective. When Gorakhnath's efforts failed, he realized that Kabir Sahib was no ordinary devotee or saint. He must be an incarnation, possibly of Brahma, Vishnu, or Mahesh. Gorakhnath then humbly said to Kabir Sahib:
"O Supreme Purush! Please come down, show mercy to your servant, and reveal your true identity. What power are you? From which realm have you come?"

Kabir Sahib descended and revealed:

"Shabd (This sacred verse is documented on page 41 of the Agam Nigam Bodh text)."

Sahib Kabir said, "O Avadhut Gorakhnath Ji, I have come from the Avigat Sthan (the eternal realm of Satlok, whose essence or secret is beyond comprehension). I manifested myself as a child on a lotus flower in the Lahartara pond in Kashi (Banaras) through my own power. There, a weaver couple named Neeru and Neema found me and brought me to their home. I have no mother or father, nor do I have a wife or household servant. The true name of the Supreme God is also my name: Kabir.

The form of light that you refer to as Alakh Niranjan (the formless God) is also engaged in chanting my name. I am realized only by the devotee who chants Satnaam because that devotee truly understands me. My body is not made of bones, flesh, or blood. Explaining the glory of Satnaam, Kabir Sahib said that access to my original abode (Satlok) is achieved through the foundation of Satnaam.

Addressing other seekers, Lord Kabir (KavirDev) said, 'I constantly chant that name myself. By becoming qualified to chant this mantra (Satnaam), one becomes eligible to enter Satlok and, after receiving Sarnaam, attains complete liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This method of worship (Tarun Taran Pad) has been revealed by me (Kabir Sahib, the Eternal God). No one else knows it.'

Kabir Sahib told Gorakhnath Ji, 'O virtuous soul! You are still trapped in the web of Kaal (the perishable being, Jyoti Niranjan). You cannot fathom how many times you have been born. You have endured immense suffering in 8.4 million life forms. The devotion you performed in all four ages would have been destroyed by Kaal in this Kaliyug if you had not sought refuge in me.

Kaal is the master of 21 universes. He is cursed to consume 100,000 human-like beings (including deities and sages) daily and to create 125,000 human-like beings daily. This results in an increase of 25,000 beings daily. To manage them and ensure they reap their karmic rewards, Kaal has created the 8.4 million life forms, where these excess beings take residence—such as microorganisms in blood or air.

Kaal's consort is Adi Maya (Prakriti Devi). Through their union, Kaal (Brahm/Alakh Niranjan) produced three sons: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. He has made these three his associates, assigning them roles: Brahma for creation, Vishnu for preservation, and Shiva for destruction.

First, he makes them perform penance and then bestows them with powers, which he uses for his benefit. When these powers are depleted, he kills them as well, roasting their bodies on a heated stone before consuming them. He then creates new sons and keeps them dormant until needed, awakening them to continue the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. This is how he governs his realm of Kaal Lok.

Above all of these is the Supreme God. Recognize me (Kabir Parmeshwar) as His incarnation.'"

Gorakhnath came to believe that there exists a supreme power that governs all creation. He then said, "Now witness another one of my powers." Saying this, he moved toward the Ganges. A large crowd of onlookers followed him. The river Ganges was about 500 feet away. Upon reaching it, Gorakhnath leaped into the water, saying, "Find me, and I will become your disciple." Gorakhnath transformed into a fish. Sahib Kabir retrieved the same fish from the water and transformed it back into Gorakhnath in front of everyone. Witnessing this, Gorakhnath acknowledged Kabir Sahib as the Supreme God and became his disciple. He accepted Satnaam from Lord Kabir, engaged in devotion, and renounced practices aimed at acquiring siddhis (supernatural powers).

The essence of Chapter 14, Verses 26-27 of the Gita is that a devotee who engages in unwavering devotion to me (Kaal-Brahm), relying solely on me (abandoning the worship of other deities, such as Brahma with rajogun, Vishnu with satogun, Shiva with tamogun, and their mother) and chants my mantra Om, becomes eligible to attain that Supreme God. Such a devotee, after further spiritual practice, attains the supreme bliss of eternal happiness through me.

To understand this, consider the example of a student who completes matriculation, then pursues a higher course (training) and secures a job, leading to a comfortable life. The foundation for this was their matriculation education, which served as a stepping stone. However, the matriculation was not the provider of their job but only a means to facilitate further progress. Similarly, Kaal-Brahm says that I am a facilitator of the immortality, eternal nature, and supreme bliss of that Supreme God.

This is corroborated in Chapter 18, Verse 66 of the Gita, where it is said: “Abandon all my prescribed practices (the chanting of the single-syllable Om mantra and the fruits of the five sacrifices) and take refuge in One (the Supreme God). Then I will absolve you of all your sins.”

Devotees who have chanted Kaal's Om mantra with unwavering focus were eventually guided by Kabir Sahib to the devotion of the Supreme God, enabling them to transcend Kaal’s realm. For example, the supreme devotee Namdev used to chant only the Om mantra and gained numerous siddhis, but he was not liberated. Later, Kabir Sahib met Namdev Ji, imparted the knowledge of Satlok and Satpurush, gave him the Soham mantra (chanting of Parbrahm), and then the Sar Shabd (chanting of Purnabrahm). Only then did Namdev Ji achieve liberation.

Similarly, Gorakhnath practiced the mantra Alakh Niranjan and engaged in Chanchari Mudra meditation. Kabir Sahib gave him the Om mantra, then the Soham mantra, and liberated him from Kaal's trap.

Saint Maluk Das Ji

Saint Maluk Das Ji also encountered Kabir Sahib in the form of a saint. Kabir Sahib took him to Satlok and returned him to earth, making him aware of his divine glory. After this, Saint Maluk Das Ji praised the glory of Kabir Sahib.

On Page 45 (1735) of Agam Nigam Bodh, Maluk Das Ji composed a hymn:

Sant Dadu Das Ji was taken into refuge by Kabir Ji

At the age of seven, Shri Dadu Ji encountered Lord Kabir in the form of Jinda Baba Ji. At that time, several other children of the same age were also playing nearby. Lord Kabir used his kamandal (water pot) to offer some water in a leaf shaped like a bowl, making Dadu Ji drink it. He gave him the First Name and took him to Satlok. Shri Dadu Ji remained unconscious (in a divine trance) for three days and nights. When he regained consciousness, he began glorifying Kabir Ji. The children who had been playing with Shri Dadu Ji went back to the village and told everyone that an old saint had come and made Dadu Ji drink enchanted water. However, Shri Dadu Ji later explained:

Clarification: Saint Maluk Das Ji and Saint Dadu Das Ji, like Saint Garib Das Ji, met Lord Kabir after visiting Satlok. This incident was not originally documented in Kabir Sagar and was added later.

This photocopy is from page 46 of the chapter Agam Nigam Bodh in Kabir Sagar. In it, someone has written an account involving Mahadev and Parvati. Although it is not in pure Sanskrit, the truth within it is evident. Parvati asks Mahadev, "Who is this Kabir whose glory you describe?" To this, Lord Shiva gives a vague explanation, stating that K stands for Karta (Creator), B for Brahm (Supreme Being), and R for Raman (pervading all), hence the Supreme Being is called Kabir.

In reality, Lord Kabir personally visited the abodes of the three deities (Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva) and made them His disciples. Saint Garib Das Ji has beautifully described this truth as follows:

Verse from Saint Garib Das Ji:

This reveals that Lord Shiva acknowledged Kabir Ji as his Supreme Master.

The above description clarifies that Lord Kabir explained the worship practices and the associated benefits and harms of devotion to Brahm (Kaal) and his three sons. Lord Kabir stated clearly:

Thus concludes the summary of the chapter Agam Nigam Bodh from Kabir Sagar.
