ninda-o ninda-o mo ka-o log ninda-o.
Slander me, slander me - go ahead, people, and slander me.


well a very small sakhi .....a reason y kabir jee wrote the above shabad:


kabir got extremely famous and his followers started increasing tremendously day by day!!

this affected kabir ji's meditation!!... his naam simran time was reduced becoz he was busy in teaching his followers!!

so one day .. kabir jee filled a bottle with something similer to liquor and went to the market.....and started acting like a drunkard!!

those who did not trust kabir jee 100% started losing faith and thus started slandering him!!

the number of his followers started decreasing and all started slandering and cussing him!!

but the true ones...which had blessing of kabir jee and beleived in him...did not leave him!!... when they asked kabir jee ...y r u doing this...y do u want to be slandered...u cud have easily told them some timings to come!!

....kabir jee said there r 2 reasons for this..

first : i want to teach only trustworthy followers who really beleive in GOD!!

second : as far as slandering goes.... if u slander a person who recites the name of GOD and does saintly acts then..

the person's good deeds r burned away .....but for the saints .. their paaps get burned away...

so kabir jee said its good for him becoz his paaps are getting burned !! 

thus he wrote this beautiful shabad !!
