गागर में सागर की तरह इस पुस्तक में हिन्दी के कालजयी कवियों की विशाल काव्य-रचना में से श्रेष्ठतम और प्रतिनिधि काव्य का संकलन विस्तृत विवेचन के साथ प्रस्तुत है। कबीर (1398 -1515) भारतीय साहित्य की बड़ी विभूति हैं। उनके समान खरी-खरी कहने वाला कवि दूसरा नहीं हुआ। अपनी साखियों में पाखण्ड विरोध, ईश्वर निष्ठा और गुरु के प्रति समर्पण के चलते उनकी ऐसी लोक व्याप्ति हुई कि हिन्दी और हिन्दीतर जन सामान्य में भी आज तक उनका नाम लिया जाता है। उनका अध्यात्म अपने स्वाध्याय से अर्जित है तो खंडन का साहस भी उनके जीवनानुभवों का प्रमाण है। ‘जो घर फूंके आपना’ सरीखी बात कहने का साहस ही कबीर को कबीर बनाता है।

As Islam moved from its Arabian heartland to a wider geographic area, its core message remained albeit adapted to different lands, to different ears. Poets were ever eager to provide an alternate way of delivering the ‘message’ in beautiful verse. Their simplicity was embracing, their ornateness a humble offering to greater forces. The poems here are both profound and wide-ranging.

Whilst Europe endured the Dark Ages in the 6th & 7th Centuries, devotees of Shiva and Vishnu in Southern India were creating the Bhakti Movement. Some of these exponents, as in our volume, were bestowed with the title of saint but some had the additional title of sant, swami or goswami. Broadly speaking, Bhakti poetry, as in Hinduism itself, is divided into ‘Nirguna’, the idea that the divine is formless as exampled by Kabir and ‘Saguna’, which interprets the divine as having physical form as captured by Mirabai.
