Who authored ‘Bijak’, a collection of devotional poems and teachings?
Kabir Das
The question asks who authored 'Bijak', a collection of devotional poems and teachings.
'Bijak' is the best-known compilation of the utterances of the 15th-century Bhakti saint-poet Kabir Das.
It gathers his dohas, sakhis and ramainis, which criticise ritualism and preach a formless, universal God.
Kabir was a leading figure of the Nirguna Bhakti tradition and his verses are respected by both Hindus and Muslims.
Surdas was a devotee of Krishna known for the 'Sursagar', while Raskhan too wrote Krishna-bhakti poetry, so they are not linked to the Bijak.
Mirabai was a Krishna-bhakti poet-saint of Rajasthan and is not the author of the Bijak.
Hence the 'Bijak', a collection of devotional poems and teachings, was authored by Kabir Das.
Therefore, the correct answer is Kabir Das.
