Who Has Engineered The Creation of This Entire Universe? 

The entire universe and the entire human race has been made up of the five elements in nature. Obviously, these elements are being created by the Supreme God Kabir who Himself is the First, Foremost and the Greatest Engineer to have created this entire universe with all its complexity and simplicity by His power of word. And scientists keep on discovering things calling them their own (in the absence of True Spiritual Knowledge) from the things God Kabir created since the time universe came into existence. Saint Garibdasji from Haryana says:

Anant Koti Brahmand Ka Ek Rati Nahi Bhaar|

Satguru Purush Kabir Hai Kul Ke SirjanHar||

It may be quite a difficult task for the people to digest the fact that Kabir Saheb is the Supreme Power and has created the entire universe as He was recognized as a poet or weaver initially. Because we have always been told the knowledge about worship against our Holy Scriptures that’s why it is becoming difficult to believe this harsh reality but it is actually the TRUTH. It is already proved and our Holy Scriptures also testifies that He is indeed the Supreme Power. Some of them are listed below:

• In Holy RigVeda, Mandal no 9: Sukt 1 Mantra 1-9, Sukt 20 Mantra 1, Sukt 82 Mantra 1-2, Sukt 86 Mantra 26-27, Sukt 94 Mantra 1, Sukt 96 Mantra 16-20 and in Holy YajurVeda in Chapter 29 Verse 25 and in various other verses, Lord Kabir is mentioned as Kavir Dev.
• In Holy Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta, chapter 8 Verse 3, 8-10, chapter 15 verse 4, 17 and chapter 18 verse 62,64,66, Lord Kabir is mentioned as Param Akshar Purush.
• In the Holy Quran Sharif in Surat Furqan 25 Aayat 52-59 it has been testified that Allah Kabir is the Allah Tala who has created the entire universe in 6 days. 
• In Holy Guru Granth Sahib on page 721 it has been the Kabir Saheb is the immortal and the only Supreme God
• In the Holy Bible Iyov 36:5 – Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB). See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding). 

Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in His purpose.

• Saint Garibdasji from Haryana says:

Gareeb, Chand Soor Paani Pavan, Dharni Dhaul Aakash |

Paanch Tatv Haziri Khade, Khijamtidar Khawas ||

How to Attain the Almighty? 

Supreme God Kabir has made it very easy for us to attain Him as He has made a provision in the form of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj on the Holy land of Haryana, India. As He is giving the right method of worship as given by Kabir Saheb 600 years, His shelter is indeed the one for us to take refuge into. Hence one should not be late in taking Naam Diksha (initiation) from Him to make this human life successful. Kabir Saheb says:

Manush Janam Paye Kar Jo Nahi Rate Hari Naam |

Jaise Kuua Jal Bina Fir Banwaya Kya Kaam ||
