Solution and Explanation

Kabir tried to coordinate the different religions by providing a universal path which could be followed by all human beings and believed that all faiths were different paths to the same god. He believed that according to him every life has a relationship with two spiritual principles, which are a personal devotion and an inherent connection to god. The terms from Vedantic tradition were used by Kabir, and it shows that he tried to connect his ideas with existing spiritual philosophies, thereby giving new meaning to them. Other terms with mystical connotations such as shabda (sound) or shunya (emptiness) were drawn from yogic traditions, which indicated that he borrowed from diverse traditions, and tried to connect them all.
