More from Kabir
"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
"The devotee is a cow, and the Guru is a herdsman; the milk is the nectar of devotion, and the churner is the contemplation of God."
"Truth whispers to those who quiet the thunder within."
"Embrace the ache of not knowing; it opens secret doors."
"God dwells in you like the pupil in the eye. Fools search outside, unaware."
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.
