Within the Kabir Panth, the center of gravity is always Kabir’s own utterance—his sabda, sakhi, and doha—rather than a single, uniform canon. Among the written compilations, the Bijak is regarded as the primary scripture and the most authoritative collection of his teachings, especially in certain regional lineages. This text is commonly described as containing three principal sections: Ramaini, Shabda, and Sakhi, which together present Kabir’s mystical insight in different poetic and didactic forms. In this way, the Bijak serves as a touchstone through which followers seek to encounter Kabir’s voice with as little distortion as possible.

Alongside the Bijak, other collections of Kabir’s verses also hold an authoritative place within the tradition. The Kabir Granthavali, sometimes referred to as Kabir Vani, gathers hymns and verses that are revered as the sacred speech of Kabir, particularly in some central and western Indian branches of the Panth. Various pothis and bani preserved in individual mathas function as localized yet authoritative repositories of his words, shaping the devotional and doctrinal life of specific lineages. In all these forms, the emphasis remains on fidelity to Kabir’s sayings rather than on a single, universally fixed textual corpus.

The presence of Kabir’s hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib is also treated with respect, as many followers regard these compositions as an important and early witness to his teaching. However, the Sikh scripture as a whole does not occupy the same central place in Kabir Panth as the Bijak and the dedicated Kabir compilations. Across regions and lineages, there is thus a spectrum of textual reverence, but a consistent pattern: wherever Kabir’s words are preserved—whether in Bijak, Granthavali, or lineage-specific compilations—those words themselves are taken as the highest authority, guiding seekers toward the inner realization that Kabir so relentlessly proclaimed.
