Abstract: Whitman, the renowned 19th century American representative poet and Kabir, the acclaimed 15th century Indian mystic poet and singer have immensely contributed towards transformation of the inner self, the society and the world through their works which propagate the ideas and themes which are universally relevant and acclaimed. The paper would be a select study of how the themes and areas such as dissolution of ego; inner transformation; expansion of consciousness; transcendence of duties; compassion and universal brotherhood covered by Whitman and Kabir during their respective ages can altogether bring self-realization and cosmic consciousness. The study would be an analysis of how these themes and sub-topics are still prevalent and essential witnessing the current scenario of inner-conflict and the turmoil in the outer world. It would also reflect on the idea that how these sub-themes through the poetry of the acclaimed authors, Whitman and Kabir can bring about a transformation, awakening and unity of the self and the universe.
