-Devotee Kabir

He commits thousands of robberies, thousands of acts of adultery, thousands of falsehoods and

He practices thousands of deceptions and secret deeds, night and day, against his fellow
- beings.
The thread is spun from cotton, and the Brahmin comes and twists it.
The goat is killed, cooked and eaten, and everyone then says, "Put on the sacred thread."

With saddled horses as fast as the wind, and harems decorated in every way;
in houses and pavilions and lofty mansions they dwell, making ostentatious shows.

Asserting their authority they eat, and beholding their mansions they forget about death.
But old age comes, and youth is lost.
-Guru Nanak

are good; but the best is the Dark Age, the Iron Age, of Kali Yuga.

Tell me, O Siblings of Destiny, the religion for this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. I seek
emancipation - how can I be emancipated?
How about that?[edit]
