Kahlil Gibran… the very name brings so much ecstasy and joy that it is impossible to think of another
name comparable to him. Just hearing the name, bells start ringing in the heart which do not belong
to this world. Kahlil Gibran is pure music, a mystery such that only poetry can sometimes grasp it,
but only sometimes.
You have chosen a man who is the most beloved of this beautiful earth. Centuries have passed;
there have been great men but Kahlil Gibran is a category in himself. I cannot conceive that even in
the future, there is a possibility of another man of such deep insight into the human heart, into the
unknown that surrounds us.
He has done something impossible. He has been able to bring at least a few fragments of the
unknown into human language. He has raised human language and human consciousness as no
other man has ever done. Through Kahlil Gibran, it seems all the mystics, all the poets, all creative
souls have joined hands and poured themselves.
Although he has been immensely successful in reaching people, still he feels it is not the whole
truth, but just a glimpse. But to see the glimpse of truth is a beginning of a pilgrimage that leads you
to the ultimate, to the absolute, to the universal.
Another beautiful man, Claude Bragdon has said about Kahlil Gibran, a few beautiful words. He
says, ”His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life, else it could not have been so
universal and so potent. But the majesty and beauty of the language with which he clothed it were
all his own.”
