More from Kabir
"God dwells in you like the pupil in the eye. Fools search outside, unaware."
"The night is dark, but the stars are bright. The world is dark, but the truth is bright."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
"The river flows, the boat goes; but the boatman sleeps."
"The lotus blooms in the mud, but it is not of the mud."
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.
