More from Kabir
"Truth is not shouted, but found in the hush between breaths."
"Trust the still pond inside; it reflects the real sky."
"Let each moment be a guest, not a prisoner of longing."
"Who can name Him, or know His will? Who can say from whence He comes? Remembering the Void, the simple One, a light burst forth [within me]; I offer myself to that Existence who is non-existence."
"The wind blows, and the dust rises. But the dust cannot touch the wind."
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.
