More from Kabir
"The seed is in the plant, and the plant is in the seed."
"Empty words echo; truth resounds from the core."
"The road to God is a narrow one. It is so narrow that two cannot walk abreast."
"The wise man does not cling to anything, for he knows that everything is transient."
"The true mantra is not a word, but a state of mind; it is the remembrance of God in every breath."
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.
