        abstract = {In the pursuit of sustainable organizational growth, effective interpersonal relationships play a crucial role in fostering collaboration, employee engagement, and conflict resolution. Indian spiritual literature, particularly the dohas (couplets) of Saint Kabir, offers timeless ethical and interpersonal guidance that resonates with modern soft skills and emotional intelligence. This study aims to empirically investigate the impact of selected Kabir dohas on interpersonal relationships among employees in organizational settings. Sant Kabir Das ji, a mystic poet and spiritual leader, profoundly impacted the Bhakti Movement in India with his teachings and philosophy. His words resonate even today, offering timeless wisdom to seekers across generations. A structured intervention was conducted using thematically selected dohas focusing on trust, communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. The results showed significant improvement in all targeted areas, confirming that philosophical-spiritual inputs can lead to measurable behavioral outcomes. Notably, departmental differences in effectiveness were observed, and strong correlations among variables suggest an interdependent development of soft skills. The findings affirm the relevance and applicability of spiritual-philosophical wisdom in enhancing interpersonal competencies and fostering human-centric organizational behavior in contemporary workplaces. In an age of workplace complexity, the need for stronger interpersonal relationships is more critical than ever. Rooted in India's rich spiritual heritage, the dohas (couplets) of the 15th-century mystic poet Kabir offer timeless insights into human behavior, self-awareness, and ethical living. This study explores the application of selected Kabir dohas in enhancing interpersonal relationships within organizational settings.},
