"The beloved is hidden where you refuse to look: in yourself."
"The wise man does not boast of his knowledge, nor does he hide his ignorance."
"The wise man does not fear death, for he knows that it is but a door to another life."
"When 'I' was, God was not; when God is, 'I' am not. All darkness vanished when the lamp of truth lit within."
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.
