"I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me."
"The sacred books are like a well, and the wise man is like a bucket; he draws water from the well, and drinks it."
"All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop."
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.
