Songs of Kabir
I.16. Santan jât na pûcho
nirguniyân
It is
needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs;
For the priest, the warrior. the tradesman,
and all the thirty-six castes, alike are seeking for God.
It is but folly to ask what the caste of a saint may be;
The barber has sought God, the washerwoman, and the carpenter--
Even Raidas was a seeker after God.
The Rishi Swapacha was a tanner by caste.
Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End, where remains no
mark of distinction.
