Allen Ginsberg: Is Kabir in the Vaisnava tradition?Guest (1): He is mystic.
Allen Ginsberg: So what tradition is he in, actually?
Prabhupada: He is impersonalist on the whole. He is impersonalist, whole, and he has got some Vaisnava thought. Thats all, perverted thoughts. Perverted thoughts.

Kabirs Teachings - convergence of knowledge ...Kabirs main concern was that whatever he did it was to seek Divine Grace. The aim of saints is this merging of soul with the Lord...
Those who, while living, die by merging into the Lord, become immortal. Oh Kabir." Kabir goes on to say: "Kabir, rare are they who while living die; ...
and shit like that... ?

Pathar Puje Hari Mile To Mein Pujun Pahar.
Tate ye chakki bhali Pees khaye samsara.
It means "If by worshipping stone one could obtain Lord Hari, then I would worship a mountain. Better than an idol in your temple is the chakki (stone which crushes wheat and turns it into flour) because it feeds so many people.
So, Kabir das discouraged the worship of personal god, preached the worship of impersonal brahman, but he recommended the chanting of holy names of the Lord, and Guru Nanak followed in his footsteps.
One of his dohas in which he described the holy name:
Kabir kutta Rama ka Mutiya mera naon.
Gale Ram ki jevari jit khichen tit jaoon.
It means:
Kabira das is a dog of the holy name of Rama. Kabira is a dog and holy name of Rama is the rope by which this dog is tied. Wherever this rope leads the dog, the dog follows.
Sorry mate,cant give you any online link for Kabirs dohas because I dont know any. I learnt them long time ago when I was a kid, still remember few on top of my head.
Hope this helps.

Impersonalism - What does that mean, the quotation marks? Is it a misunderstanding of English grammar? Possibly the same reason you have a lot of dots in your writing. Unless you just came to such a full stop you felt it necessary to fully emphasize this.
Lets not be dotty.
