Kabir is believed to have been a weaver who lived in Varanasi sometime during

the fifteenth century. Beyond these facts, very little is known about him.

Yet, irrespective of his true historical identity, Kabir is first and foremost a

Bhakti poet, whose dohas and poems questioned social paradigms and created

a multiplicity of radical thoughts that have resonated through the ages,

challenging and empowering millions.

Burn Down Your House is a compilation of Kabir's timeless mystical poetry

drawn from various sources-both oral and textual-interspersed with

legends and anecdotes from the poet's life, and an analysis of his beliefs.

Each chapter is a journey into a Kabirian thought or 'provocation'-the

impermanence of life, the spiritual power of surrender, the liberation one

feels from shedding the ego, the transformative ability of love and compassion,

the shackles of custom and dogma-that urges readers to challenge societal

divides and social norms and inspires them to look within.

An endeavour that has taken over two decades and spanned multiple states in

India, Shabnam Virmani's book is a testament to Kabir's enduring influence,

offering a unique perspective into acting in the present, finding the meaning of

life, and breaking down mind-forged barriers. It's an essential read for anyone

seeking a deeper understanding of the human spirit and the shifting world we

live in.
