More from Kabir
"The true devotee is a madman. He does not care for the world, nor for God. He only cares for love."
"Embrace the ache of not knowing; it opens secret doors."
"Go to the temple and worship the idol? But the idol is made of stone. How can it speak to you?"
"In the garden of truth, even the weeds have stories to tell."
"So many bodies, so many opinions! But my Beloved, though invisible, is in all these bodies. There is no life at all without the Beloved; the Self lives as each and every one."
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.
