108 Who is the Master of the Lineage and What is He like?<br />
from Vishnu Puran that Shri Vishnu <strong>Ji</strong> is a Supreme Power; Brahma<br />
and Shiv have originated from him. Rishi <strong>Ji</strong> said that whatever I<br />
narrate, the same is written in Vishnu Puran. Kabir Sahib said that<br />
Rishi <strong>Ji</strong>, I have requested you to dispel my doubt, please do not get<br />
agitated. One day I had listened to Shiv Puran. In that that greatman<br />
was narrating that Vishnu and Brahma originated from God Shiv.<br />
(Evidence: Holy Shiv Puran, Rudr Sanhita, Adhyay 6 and 7,<br />
Published from Gita Press Gorakhpur). In Devi Bhagwat’s third<br />
Skand, it is written that the Goddess is the mother of these three,<br />
Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv. These three are mortal, are not eternal. Rishi<br />
<strong>Ji</strong> was without an answer. Being angry, said, “Who are you? Whose<br />
son are you?” Even before Kabir Sahib could say anything, other<br />
devotees started saying that he is the son of that weaver Neeru.<br />
The disciple of Swami Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong> said that how come you are<br />
wearing a kanthi in your neck? (The Vaishnu Sadhus wear a garland<br />
of one bead of basil/tulsi; it is evident from that, that these have<br />
taken initiation from Vishnu-succession.) Who is your Gurudev?<br />
Kabir Sahib said that my Gurudev is the same as yours. That Rishi<br />
became very angry and said, “Oh fool! You, son of a low-caste<br />
weaver, are addressing my Gurudev as yours. You, son of a weaver!<br />
He does not even see inferior people like you and you are saying<br />
that you have taken naam (initiation) from him! See, devotees, he is<br />
a liar, a fraud. I will go to Gurudev just now and will tell your whole<br />
story to him. You, child of a low-caste, insult our Guruji.” Kaviragni<br />
said, “Alright, tell Guru <strong>Ji</strong>.” That Rishi <strong>Ji</strong> went and told Shri<br />
Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong>, “Gurudev, there is a boy of lower caste. He has<br />
disgraced us. He says that Swami Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong> is my Gurudev. Oh<br />
Bhagwan! It has become difficult for us to go out.” Swami Ramanand<br />
<strong>Ji</strong> said, “Call him tomorrow morning. Just see how much I will punish<br />
him tomorrow in front of you.”<br />
Revealing Swami Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong>’s Secret Thought<br />
Next day early morning, ten ignorant men captured God Kabir<br />
and presented him before Shri Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong>. To show that I do not<br />
even look at people of low-caste, he was telling a lie that he has<br />
taken initiation from me, Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong> drew a curtain in front of him
