| In the dark, he
stepped on Kabir’s hand. At once he jumped away
and asked: "Ram, Ram! Who is here?"
Kabir rose and prostrated himself before the saint and
said: "Swami, please accept me as your disciple. I have taken the name of God you
just uttered as the mantra given to me. Bless me."
The Swami found the Kabir was sincere. So he blessed him.
Kabir became even more devoted to God from that time.
He put on the sacred thread and wore the tilak on his
forehand.
Kabir wove cloth as his parents did, and sold it in the
market. With the money so collected, he supported the family.
Kabir married a girl called Loi. Later on, he had a son
called Kamal. The family lived on Kabir’s earnings. |
