"The lamp is in the house, but the blind man cannot see it."
"The true mantra is not a word, but a state of mind; it is the remembrance of God in every breath."
"The earth is a dish, and the sky is a lid. The sun and moon are lamps, and the stars are jewels."
"The fish in the water is thirsty."
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.
