More from Kabir
"I sell mirrors in the city of the blind."
"The true devotion is to live in harmony with all creatures, and to see the divine in every form."
"He is the true Guru who can reveal the form of the Formless to the vision of the disciple."
"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
"If you want to know the secret, learn to see with your heart, not with your eyes."
About Kabir (c. 1440-1518)
Indian mystic poet whose verses (preserved in the Sikh Guru Granth Sahib and the Hindu Bhakti tradition) attacked both Hindu and Islamic orthodoxy. Closely associated with Guru Nanak (founder of Sikhism, who incorporated Kabir's verses). For an intellectual contrast, see Brahmanical priesthood, the ritualistic Hindu establishment of his era — Kabir's poetry is the founding text of bhakti devotional rebellion against ritualistic Hinduism — his verses ridicule caste, ritual purity, and priestly mediation as religious theatre.
