message: A numerous collections of Kabir poems are popular among the literate as well as the illiterate people for over past five centuries in major parts of North India. Large number of Indian population follow the teachings of Kabir are collectively called as Kabir Panth. The Bijak is a sacred book for Kabir Panth as well as other sects devoted to Kabir. Bijak is known to westerners in early twentieth century. Kabir referred to this word Bijak in the Sakhi of 37th Ramaini of the scripture. The Bijak tells the secret of the treasure, which is hidden, to teach to soul a word of creature but there are a few who understand.
=== The language of the Bijak ===

replies: text: I'd like the quote for the suggestion that the Bijak wasn't known in the West until the earlier 20th c. I can't see the fact that Kabir mentioned the word as encyclopedia-worthy - that would require reliable sources explaining why it was significant that he mentioned the word. And what's the quote about the secret of the treasure, which is hidden, to teach to sould a word of creature but there are few who understand? Again, we'd need a discussion in sources explaining this. Regarding the language, are there reliable sources saying it was hard to understand? Sorry to be so slow but I've been busy. I have a huge number of articles on my watchlist and if you look at the top of my user page you'll see I have a lot of responsibilities here. Doug Weller talk 14:38, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
