Sant Ravidas Ji
The land of India has always been a holy place. From time to time, many sages, sages, seekers, saints, and gurus have kept it holy with their unique sadhana, rigorous penance, and virtuous words. The birth of Sant Ravidas Ji took place on Magha Purnima Samvat in 1433 in a village called Mandur near Varanasi. From childhood, his interest was towards God's devotion and sages and saints. When he grew up, he took up his ancestral work as a tanner. He would get absorbed in the Lord's hymn, knotting the shoe alongside.

In his divine ecstasy, he composed many hymns full of devotional fervor and intense love for God. We do not know for certain whether or not Ravidasa had any traditional schooling.
We have not been able to trace any manuscript copy of his hymns written in his hand and it seems likely that he did not write down his compositions. He used to recite his hymns among his followers at the time of the congregation.
It seems that the verses which have come down to us were recorded by his followers from memory, after his passing away. The variations existing among different manuscripts are sufficient to prove that these were not copied down from any authentic source.
Ravidas took initiation from the then-famous devotee Guru Ramanand. He rejected the high and low opinions. He was very humble and liberal-minded. His devotion was of a high standard.

राग आसा बाणी भगत रविदास जी गुरु ग्रंथ साहिब अंग 487
माटी को पुतरा कैसे नचत है ॥
देखै देखै सुनै बोलै दौरेयो फिरतुहै ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
जब कछ पावै तब गरब करत है ॥
माया गई तब रोवन लगत है ॥१॥
मन बच कर्म रस कसहि लुभाना ॥
बिनस गया जाइ कहूं समाना ॥२॥
कहि रविदास बाजी जग भाई ॥
बाजीगर सउ मोहे प्रीत बन आई ॥३॥६॥
आदमी मिट्टी का पुतला है लेकिन फिर भी (सांसारिक मोह में फँसकर) कैसे व्यंग्यपूर्ण नाचता है। बह बार-बार देखता, सुनता, बोलता और दौड़ता ही रहता है॥ १॥ रहाउ॥ जब बह कुछ उपलब्धि करता है तो उस उपलब्धि का बड़ा अहंकार करता है। लेकिन जब धन-दौलत इत्यादि उसकी चली जाती है तो फूट-फूट कर रोने लगता है॥ १॥
मन, वचन एवं कर्मों के कारण वह मीठे एवं लुभावने सांसारिक पदार्थों में मग्न रहता है। लेकिन जब उसके जीवन का अंत हो जाता है तो पता नहीं चलता कि वह किस स्थान में जाकर समा जाता है॥ २ ॥ रविदास जी कहते हैं कि हे भाई ! यह जीवन एक बाजी है तथा बाजीगर प्रभु से मेरी प्रीति बन गई है॥ ३॥ ६॥

बसंत बाणी रविदास जी की
ੴ सतिगुर प्रसाद ॥
तुझहि सुझंता कछू नाहि ॥
पहिरावा देखे ऊभ जाहि ॥
गरबवती का नाही ठाउ ॥
तेरी गरदन ऊपर लवै काउ ॥१॥
तू कांइ गरबहि बावली ॥
जैसे भादउ खूम्बराज, तू तिस ते खरी उतावली ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
तुझे कुछ भी समझ नहीं आ रही, केवल सुन्दर पहरावा देखकर गर्व कर रही हो परन्तु अभिमानी को कहीं भी ठीर-ठिकाना प्राप्त नहीं होता, मौत रूपी कोआ तेरी गर्दन पर मंडरा रहा है॥१॥ अरे बावली ! तू क्यों अहंकार कर रही है। जिस प्रकार भादों के महीने में कुकुरमत्ता उगकर नष्ट हो जाता है, तू उससे भी अधिक उतावली हो रही है॥१॥
