Kabir Song - Anal Shah (CalArts)

Kabir Song is based on the life of 14th century Indian mystic and poet, Kabir, who was most famous for his songs scorning religious affiliation. His life and death is surrounded by legends, where it is still unclear whether he was a Muslim or a Hindu. The camera follows a similar mystic as he walks the streets of Varanasi, a northern Indian city, singing the songs of Kabir.

maybe you should not talk like that, because God or fate by send you their just to strenghten your spirit or test you. What do not wish for might come to test ? Do we have control of where we are born etc. ? or the life Form we take on ?
