Environmental Consciousness of Sant Kabir

Abstract

Saint Kabir is considered to be the originator of the branch of knowledge under the Nirguna Kavyadhara of devotional period. Eternal expressions of values ​​of life and humanism have been established in his speeches. Nothing has remained untouched by Kabir's 'Aankhon Dekhi'. Every discrepancies of his time must have had a keen observational look. In such a situation, their attention has not been paid towards environmental problems, it is not possible. Many elements of nature are reflected in Kabir's poetry, confirming his statement and proving his thoughts. Kabir's important contribution in the context of environmental awareness and protection is that he has taught the entire human race to express gratitude in return for the favors done by nature. Somewhere in his poetry, the leaves and flowers of trees give a sense of the impermanence of the world and the ephemerality of human life, and somewhere they take shelter of water and reveal the mystic feelings of God. In this way, it can be said that in speeches of Kabir, various forms of nature have been expressed in the form of illustrations. This automatically proves the environmental awareness of Sant Kabir.
