More from Kabir
"Let each moment be a guest, not a prisoner of longing."
"When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the search for Him that does all the work."
"It is not the outer garment that makes the saint, but the inner purity of the heart."
"The path to God is straight, but men have made it crooked with their rituals and ceremonies."
"I am not a Hindu, Nor a Muslim am I. I am this body, a play of five elements, a drama of the spirit dancing with joy and sorrow."
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.
