"The jewel is lost in the mud, and all are searching for it, but no one knows where it is."
"Chalti chakki dekh kar, diya Kabira roye. Dui paatan ke beech mein, sabit bacha na koye. (Seeing the grinding mill, Kabir wept. Between the two stones, no one remains whole.)"
"The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it."
"When questions dissolve, wisdom dances in unexpected alleys."
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.
