Swami ji You are a very good mentor.But it's your humility and a way to make the students do some research on the texts where you said you are puzzled because you definitely know the answer. That's the magic of Shri Ramakrishna Maa and Swamji Dandvat Pranam to you Dandvat Pranam to this Parampara Dandvat Pranam to Thakur Maa and Swamji and all his disciples and devotees.
Humbly answering your question on Kabir’s Philo. Kabir believed in the formless with attributes. In his Bijak ( authoritative collection of his poems) his ‘Ram’ is anahat is this sort of unstuck sound but communicates and manifests in the world of beings via shabd. In this shabd ( word) there is love, goodness etc. so one can say that Kabir’s bijak is a sort of Nirakar Saguna Upasana. Deep gratitude to you for everything! Pranams Rattan
I think Kabir is best interpreted as a vijnana vedantin, a precursor to Sri Ramakrishna himself. Just as with Sri Ramakrishna in the Kathamrita, taking Kabir's songs in isolation from his entire works can misrepresent him as a Shankarite advaitin, but more often, he is focused on the formless but personal God (Rama), and sometimes, he reaches the vijnana standpoint. Somewhat akin to the Hanuman shloka that Ramakrishna once uttered to his inner circle.
Kabir was a vigyan vedantic and a his devotion is towards formless with attributes.Because I think he only says if you see a stone you can take it as a stone or you can consider it as God
Namaste, i think Srk is not talking of avatar as in brahman incarnated, but wether God as in devata or devi incarnated in human form. In the zorastrian avatar is actually hotr, ie one of the 16 preists in a yagna in vedic rituals. In other words a high preist,which Srk is, and we know that Srk is sarva deva devi swaroopa,as in devi devatas. In short the debate is about wether the typal Devatas incarnate in human forms,and here i think some important info is missing( M might have edited it out) as to why at all there should be such a debate,unless there was somebody else trying to prove that a devata has taken human form,which they do not; the devatas can appear to someone i.e Darshana but that is very individual and specific,requiring a high level of vital purity eg Srk himself coukd see Kali, talk to her etc,but everyone else around him could not. So a Devata never aopears in human form,walking and talking to all and sundry is the norm
A little narrow minded. Many great Realzers had several Masters. Particularly in the Tiberan Tradition.. It doesn't mean you are a spiritual dilletante necessarily, but it could.God decides these things not men.
Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna

Keshav sen's interpretation is similar to that of a modern shopkeeper...'buy one get one free'

So when Arjuna says that SK is Brahman absolute,then likely it means that the hotr/ avatar is not just a preist but has to be Brahman realised too.

1:04:49 he is explaining a different view point. Which is not narrow minded at all.
