प्रश्न
Name any two sources to reconstruct religious thoughts and ideas leading to the growth of Composite Culture.
उत्तर
Main two sources to reconstruct religious thoughts and ideas leading to the growth of composite culture are:
- Bijak: Bijak is the compilation of the verses of Kabir. Kabir has drawn inspiration from various traditions: Islam, Vedas, and yogic traditions to describe the Ultimate Reality. For example, he has used the terms like alakh (the unseen), nirakar (formless), Brahman and Atman, from Vedantic traditions.
- Guru Granth Sahib: Guru Granth Sahib is the only scripture of its kind which contains the songs, hymns, and utterances of a wide variety of saints, sages and bards. This shows that Guru Arjan Dev wanted to affirm the fundamental unity of all religions and the unitary character of all mystic experience. It is indeed, a magnificent compendium of religions, mystic and metaphysical poetry written or uttered between the 12th and the 17th century in different parts of India. It is, also, at the same time, a mirror of the sociological, economic and political conditions of those days.
