KavirDev Himself descends to impart His true spiritual knowledge (tatvgyan) and spread the message of divine wisdom.
KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir) has declared in His divine speech – Shabd (Hymn)
Avigat se chal aaye, koi mera bhed marm nahin paaya ||tek||
Na mera janm, na garbh basera, baalak ho dikhlaaya ||
Kashi nagar jal kamal par dera, vahaan julaahe ne paaya ||
Maat-pita mere kuchh naahin, na mere ghar daasi (patni) ||
Julha ka sut aan kahaaya, jagat karein meri haansi ||
Paanch tatv ka dhad nahin mera, jaanu gyaan apaara ||
Satya swaroopi (vaastvik) naam Saheb (Purna Prabhu) ka, soi naam humaara ||
Adhar dweep (upar Satyalok mein) gagan gufa mein tahaan nij vastu sara ||
Jyot swaroopi alakh Niranjan (Brahm), bhi dharta dhyaan humaara ||
Haad chaam lahu na mere, koi jaane satyanaam upaasi ||
Taaran taran abhay pad daata, main hoon Kabir avinaashi ||
In the hymn mentioned above, Supreme God Kabir declares that He has neither a wife nor a body composed of the five elements (i.e., flesh, bones, and blood). He is self-existent (Swayambhu) and appeared in a child's form on a lotus flower in the pond called Lahar Tara in Kashi. A weaver named Neeru took Him from there. His name is the true name of the Supreme God, known as KavirDev in the Vedas, Hakka Kabir in Guru Granth Sahib, and Allah Kabiran in Quran Sharif. He resides in Satlok (Ritdhaam) above, and even the god Jyoti Niranjan (Brahm) worships Him.
The evidence can also be found in Satyarth Prakaash, Seventh Samullas (pages 152-153, published in Deena Nagar, Punjab). Swami Dayanand Ji translated Yajurved Chapter 13 Verse 4 and Rigved Mandal 10 Sukt 49 Verse 1. In these verses, the narrator of the Vedas, Brahm, says: "Oh human beings, He who was the Creator of all before creation, who was and remains the Master of everything, is the one maintaining all of creation. Just as we (Brahm and other gods) worship Him, so should you worship that God of bliss."

Translation: (Adhya) Today i.e. in the present time (durone) wick edly in the body-like palace (manushH) the thoughtful persons engrossed in wrong way of worship (samiddhH) the lit fire i.e. the current way of worship opposite to the scriptures which is harmful; like fire burns to ashes, this is what the way of worship opposite to the scriptures does to the life of a worshipper. In its place (devan ) of the gods (devH) God (jaatvedH) Supreme God SatPurush's real (yaj ) way of worship (asi) is. (aa) kind (mitrmahH) of the Supreme God who is the real friend of the living being (chikitvaan ) healthy/sound knowledge i.e. the true bhakti (dootH) in the form of a messenger (vah) who brings (ch) and (prchetaH) who imparts (tvam ) Himself (Kavir ) KavirDev i.e. Supreme God Kabir (asi) is.
Translation: In the present time, the harmful, scripture-opposed way of worship acts like a destructive fire set upon the body-like palace of thoughtful worshippers, burning their lives to ashes. In contrast, the true way of worship belongs to the God of gods, the Supreme God SatPurush, which offers salvation.
The one who delivers the true, sound knowledge and imparts the real devotion to the Supreme God—who is compassionate and the true friend of all beings—is none other than KavirDev, the Supreme God Kabir Himself.
Meaning: When the devotee community is led astray by arbitrary forms of worship, abandoning the scripture-based path, KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir) reveals the true spiritual knowledge, Tatvgyan.

Puraam - bhinduH - yuva - Kavir - amit - auja - ajaayat - indraH - vishvasya - karmanH - dharta - vajri - purushtutH||
Translation: (Yuva) Purna Samrath / Fully Capable (Kavir ) KavirDev i.e. Supreme God Kabir (amitauja) possessing massive power i.e. Almighty (ajaayat) making a supernatural body of masses of lights (dharta) by mani festing i.e. by incarnating (vajri) with His weapon of Satyashabd and Satyanaam (puraam ) the fort of the bondage of sins of Kaal-Brahm (bhinduH) who breaks into pieces (IndraH) Supreme God, giver of all the happiness (vishvasya) all the living beings of the entire universe (karmanH) mind-speech-actions i.e. with full faith, with undivided attention, through religious actions, by true bhakti (purushtutH) is worthy of being praised and worshipped.
Translation: The Almighty Supreme God Kabir, who holds immense power and manifests in a divine form of light, comes as an incarnation to break the shackles of sins imposed by Kaal-Brahm. This Supreme God, the giver of all happiness, is worthy of being praised and worshipped with full faith, devotion, and through righteous actions by all living beings across the universe.
Just as a child and an elderly person lack the capacity to do everything, while a young person is capable, similarly, consider ParBrahm, Brahm, and the gods like Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv as the child and elderly. For this reason, Supreme God Kabir is referred to as "Yuva" (youthful) in the Vedas.
Meaning: KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir), who reveals the Tatvgyan (true spiritual knowledge) to the world, is almighty and destroys the bondage of Kaal (Brahm). He is the source of all happiness and is worthy of being worshipped by all.

Bhadra - vastra - samanya - vasaanH - mahaan - Kavir - nivachnani - shansan - aavachyasv - chamvoH - pooymaanH - vichakshanH - jagrviH - Dev - veetau||
Translation: (VichakshanH) Clever people (aavachyasv) through their speeches, instead of telling the true path of the way of worship of Purna Brahm, by directing towards the worship of others, in place of nectar, (pooymaanH) pus from a boil in the form of the worship of others [like, ghost-worship, Pitra-worship, worship of the three gunas {Rajgun-Brahma, Satgun-Vishnu, Tamgun-Shankar} and worship of Brahm-Kaal] (chamvoH) are respectfully making sip the wrong knowledge (bhadra) the supreme happiness-giving (mahaan Kavir ) Supreme God Kabir (vastra) in a body in an ordinary attire i.e. {the meaning of 'vastra' is 'attire' - in saint language, it is also called 'chola'. Chola means body. Like, if a saint leaves his body, then it is said that Mahatma has left his chola}, (samanya) acquiring another body made up of mass of lights [tejpunj] similar to that of Satyalok (vasaanH) by spending life like a common man and living in the world for a few days (nivachnani) by means of his Shabdavali , the true knowledge (shansan ) by explaining (Dev) of the Supreme God (veetau) hidden Sargun-Nirgun knowledge (jagrviH) awakens/brings awareness about.
Translation: Clever individuals, instead of guiding people towards the true path of worship of Purna Brahm (Supreme God), mislead them towards the worship of others. In doing so, they offer poison instead of nectar—promoting false knowledge such as ghost-worship, Pitra-worship, and the worship of the three gunas (Brahma-Rajgun, Vishnu-Satgun, Shiv-Tamgun), or Brahm-Kaal. At such times, the Supreme God Kabir, who grants supreme happiness, manifests on Earth in an ordinary form, acquiring a body made of divine light (tejpunj), much like His form in Satyalok. Living as an ordinary human for some time, He delivers true knowledge through His teachings, revealing the hidden Sargun-Nirgun knowledge of the Supreme God.
The term 'vastra' means 'attire,' which in saintly language is also referred to as 'chola,' meaning 'body.' When a saint leaves their body, it is said that the Mahatma has left their 'chola.'
Meaning: KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir) descends to this world to impart true spiritual knowledge (Tatvgyan) to those who follow dangerous, scripture-opposing practices. He takes on a body made of lighter, less visible form to make His teachings accessible, as His true radiant form cannot be seen with the naked eye. By living as an ordinary person for a short time, He reveals the divine knowledge needed to reach the Supreme God.
Shishum jagyaanm hry tam mrjanti shumbhanti vahin marutH ganen||
Kavirgeerbhi kavyena Kavir sant somH pavitrm atyeti rebhan||
Translation: Supreme God (hry shishum ) in the form of an extraordinary human child (jagyaanm ) appears intentionally and His true knowledge / Tatvgyan (tam ) at that time (mrjanti) with purity (shumbhanti) utters (vahinH) who blazing in the fire of separation for the attainment of God (marutH) devotees (ganen) for the group of (kavyena) by poetic insight, through poems (pavitrm atyeti) many speeches with purity (Kavir Geerbhi) Kabir-speech i.e. by means of speech of Kabir (rebhan ) recites by addressing loudly (Kavir Sant somH) that Eternal Purush/God i.e. SatPurush alone in the form of a Saint i.e. a Rishi, is Himself KavirDev. But because of not recognising that God, people start calling Him a Kavi (poet). But He is Supreme God only. His actual name is KavirDev.
Translation: The Supreme God appears intentionally as an extraordinary child and delivers His pure, true knowledge (Tatvgyan). For devotees burning in the fire of separation from God, He communicates profound teachings through poetic verses known as Kavir Vaani. This Eternal Being, or SatPurush, is KavirDev in the guise of a saint or Rishi. Despite His divine nature, people often misidentify Him as merely a poet. In reality, His true name is KavirDev, the Supreme God.
Meaning: Rigved Mandal 9, Sukt 96, Mantra 16 asks for the true name of the Supreme God. Mantra 17 provides this name and a full introduction. According to the Vedic narrator Brahm, the Supreme God KavirDev appears as an extraordinary child and imparts His pure knowledge through Kabir Vaani—poems and proverbs. Due to the lack of this Tatvgyan, people mistakenly view Him as just a Rishi, Saint, or Poet. Despite His own declaration of being Purna Brahm, and despite His presence in Kashi, people fail to recognize Him, often due to misconceptions about the formless nature of God.
Garibdas Ji Maharaj, recognizing the divine presence in Kashi, praised Him and conveyed the glory He described in His teachings.
Garib, jaati humaari Jagat Guru, Parmeshwar hai panth | Dasgarib likh pade, naam Niranjan kant ||
Garib, hum hi Alakh Allah hain, kutub gos aur peer | Garibdas Khaalik Dhani, humra naam Kabir ||
Garib, ae swami Srishta main, srishti humre teer | Das Garib adhar bassoon, avigat Sat Kabir ||
Despite these clarifications, people still refer to Him as a poet, saint, devotee, or weaver. However, He is Supreme God, known as KavirDev. He is the SatPurush Kabir in the form of a Rishi or Saint. Due to the ignorance of sages and gurus lacking true spiritual knowledge, who describe God as formless, people fail to recognize the Supreme God when He manifests.
Rishimna ya rishikrit swarshaH sahastraneethH padviH kavinam Trteeyam dhaam mahishH sisha sant somH viraajmaanu rajti stup
Translation: The narrator of Ved, Brahm, is saying that (ya) the Supreme God, who coming in the form of an extraordinary child (kavinam ) of famous poets (padviH) attaining the title i.e. plays the role of a saint or rishi, that (rishikrt ) composed by the God appeared in the form of a Saint (sahastraneethH) thousands of speeches (rishimna) for the individuals of saintly nature i.e. the devotees (swarshaH) is the provider of happiness equal to that of heaven (somH) that Eternal Purush/God i.e. Satpurush (trteeya) third (dhaam) of the Mukti lok / lok of salvation i.e. Satyalok (mahishH) very firm Earth (sisha) establishing (anu) after (sant ) being in a human-like visible saint form (stup ) in a dome on a high hillock-like throne (viraajmaanu rajti) in a bright material form i.e is seated in an effulgent human-like visible body
Translation: The Vedic narrator, Brahm, states that the Supreme God, who manifests as an extraordinary child and takes on the role of a saint or sage, provides countless speeches that bring happiness to saintly individuals, comparable to the bliss of heaven. This Eternal Purush, or SatPurush, after establishing the firm foundation of Satyalok, appears in a visible, radiant human-like form. He is seated in a dome on a high throne, representing His divine presence.
Meaning: Mantra 17 describes how KavirDev takes on a child form and grows while performing divine acts. His teachings, expressed through poetry, lead people to refer to Him as a poet, sage, or saint. In truth, He is Supreme God Kavir. His sacred speech, known as Kabir Vaani, offers heavenly comfort to devotees. This same God, after establishing Satyalok, is seated in a radiant human-like form on a throne in a dome.
In this mantra, Satlok is referred to as the third realm. The first realm is Brahm's domain, encompassing twenty-one brahmands; the second is the realm of ParBrahm, which covers seven sankh brahmands. The third realm is Satlok, the domain of Param Akshar Brahm (Supreme God). SatPurush, residing in Satlok, created the lower realms, which is why they are included in the count.
Saint Garib Das ji provided this eye-witness evidence: "Ars kurs par safed gumbaj hai, jahan Satguru ka dera." This means that at the highest point in the sky, Supreme God Kabir resides in a white dome.
Chamusat shyenH shakunH vibhrtva gobinduH drps aayudhaani bibhrt ApamoorbhiH sachmanH samudrm turiyam dhaam mahishH vivakti
Translation: (Chamusat ) holy (govinduH) Supreme God KavirDev who fulfils all the desires like Kamdhenu (vibhrtva) is the sustainer of all (shyenH) white-coloured (shakunH) possesses auspicious charateristics (chamusat ) is all-powerful. (drpsH) like there is a method of making curd out of milk, similarly, by scripture-based sadhna, giver of the curd-like com plete salvation (aayudhaani) possessing the bow of Tatvgyan, which destroys the web of Kaal, is Saarangpaani / a bow-bearer God. (sachmanH) real (vibhrt ) rears everyone (apamoorbhiH) with deep water (samudrm) deeply thoughtful i.e. huge like an ocean (turiyam ) fourth (dhaam) lok i.e. in Anami lok (mahishH) on bright, very firm Earth (vivakti) also lives separately in a different place. KavirDev Himself gives this information distinctly in detail.
Translation: Supreme God KavirDev, who fulfills all desires like the divine Kamdhenu, is the sustainer of all. He is white, possesses auspicious qualities, and is Almighty. Just as curd is made from milk, He provides complete salvation through scripture-based practices. He wields the bow of Tatvgyan, which destroys the entanglements of Kaal, and is thus called Saarangpaani, the bow-bearer God. He is the true caretaker of all and resides in the bright, firm realm of the fourth lok, Anami lok, which is separate and distinct. KavirDev provides this detailed information Himself.
Meaning: Mantra 18 states that Supreme God KavirDev (Kabir) resides in the third realm of salvation, Satlok, within a dome. Mantra 19 describes this Purna Prabhu as extremely white, fulfilling all desires like the divine Kamdhenu, and as the true sustainer of all. KavirDev, who incarnates as a child in the mortal world, provides the essence of complete salvation through the scripture-based path, akin to making curd from milk. Equipped with the bow of Tatvgyan, He is known as Saarangpaani (the bow-bearer). Just as an ocean is the source of all waters, all beings originate from this Supreme God.
In Gita Chapter 15 Verse 3, it is said that after cutting the world-tree with the weapon of Tatvgyan (true knowledge) and clearing all doubts, one should seek the Supreme God with the highest state (Param Pad Parmeshwar). Upon reaching Him, worshippers never return to the cycle of life and death, achieving complete liberation. This Purna Prabhu, from whom the world-tree originates, resides in the fourth Dhaam, known as Anami Lok. The sequence of realms is Satlok, Alakh Lok, Agam Lok, and Anami Lok. Verse 19 confirms that Supreme God Kabir (KavirDev) also resides in Anami Lok in an effulgent form.
MaryaH na shubhrstanvam mrjaanH atyaH na srtva sanye dhanaanam Vrshev yootha parikoshm arshan kanikrdat chamvoH ira vivesh||
Translation: Supreme God KavirDev who lives in the fourth dhaam i.e. Anami lok and in the third dhaam i.e. Satyalok, that same God (na maryaH) is like a man, but is imperishable i.e is eternal (mrjaanH) in form with a clear face (atyaH) very (shubhrstanvam ) big, acquiring a white-coloured body, is present in the upper loks and from there (srtva) moving, of which nobody becomes aware that identical God (ira) on Earth (vivesh) another attire i.e. different form (chamvoH) comes by acquiring. Performs a leela [divine act] on Satlok and Earth (yootha) to a very big group, real (saanye) eternal way of worship/ sanatan pooja (vrshev) showering (na dhanaanam ) those poor in the earnings of the wealth of Ram-naam (kanikrdat ) makes them worship in low voice i.e. uttering in the mind through incoming-outgoing breaths, as a result of which the whole group of the infinite followers (pari kosham) the treasure of nectar of the former ocean of happiness i.e. Satlok (arshan ) attains by doing worship.
Translation: Supreme God KavirDev, who resides in both the fourth realm (Anami Lok) and the third realm (Satyalok), is like a man but is eternal and imperishable. He has a clear, radiant face and a vast, white body, residing in the higher realms. Moving unseen from there, He assumes another form and descends to Earth. He performs divine acts (leela) in both Satlok and on Earth. By bestowing the true, eternal method of worship (Sanatan pooja) on a large group, He guides those lacking in spiritual wealth to worship quietly, through the inward and outward breath. As a result, this vast group of devotees attains the treasure of eternal bliss in Satyalok.
Meaning: Supreme God KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir) resides in the third realm, Satyalok, and also in the fourth realm, Anami Lok, where He takes another human-like form. This same God, with a radiant face and white body, appears on Earth and reveals the true method of worship. Through this, He creates a vast group of devotees, enriching them with genuine devotion (bhakti). As a result, this entire group of countless followers attains the ultimate realm of bliss, Satyalok, gaining the treasure of complete salvation through true worship.

Translation: (YaH) Who (atharvaanm ) changeless i.e. eternal (Pittram) Jagat Pita / Father of the Universe (Devbandhum) the real companion of the devotees i.e. the basis of the soul (Brhaspatim) the greatest Teacher i.e. jagatguru / teacher of the universe (ch) and (namsa) polite worshipper i.e. a worshipper who worships according to the rules (av) with safety (gachchhaat) who takes those who have gone to Satlok, to Satlok (vishveshaam) all the brahmands (janita) the creator of (na dabhaayat) who does not deceive like Kaal (swadhaavaan) nature i.e. with qualities (yatha) as it is (saH) He (tvam) Himself (KavirdevH Kavir -DevH) is Supreme God Kabir i.e. KavirDev.
Translation: The one who is unchanging, eternal, and the Father of the Universe (Jagat Pita), the true companion of devotees and the foundation of the soul, the Supreme Teacher of the Universe (Jagat Guru), who safely guides a sincere worshipper, one who follows the scripture-based worship, to Satlok, is none other than the Creator of all universes. Unlike Kaal, who deceives, this God remains true and unwavering. He is Supreme God Kabir, also known as KavirDev.
Meaning: The Supreme God, referred to in the verse "Tvamev Mata ch Pita Tvamev" (You alone are Mother and Father), "Tvamev Bandhu ch Sakha Tvamev" (You alone are Brother and Friend), "Tvamev Vidya ch Drvinm Tvamev" (You alone are Knowledge and Wealth), and "Tvamev Sarvam mm Dev Dev" (You alone are my Supreme God of all gods), is eternal. He is the Mother, Father, Brother, and Friend to all, and as the Jagat Guru (Teacher of the Universe), He grants true bhakti to all beings, guiding them to Satlok. Unlike Kaal, He does not deceive. The Creator of all universes is none other than KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir).
