More from Kabir
"Time asks no questions, but always answers with change."
"I am looking for the one who is looking for me."
"When 'I' was, God was not; when God is, 'I' am not. All darkness vanished when the lamp of truth lit within."
"In the garden of truth, even the weeds have stories to tell."
"Praise flows easily; understanding arrives only when patience is ready."
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.
