“हमें आज भी कबीर की रहनुमाई की ज़रूरत है। उस रोशनी की ज़रूरत है जो उस संत के दिल में पैदा हुई थी। आज साईंस की बेपनाह तरक़्क़ी ने इंसान की सत्ता को बढ़ा दिया है। इंसान सितारों पर कमंद फेंक रहा है फिर भी तुच्छ है। वो रंगों में बंटा हुआ है, क़ौमों में विभाजित है। उसके दरमियान मज़हब की दीवार खड़ी है। उसके लिए एक नए यक़ीन, नए ईमान और एक नई मुहब्बत की ज़रूरत है।” (सरदार जाफ़री)
