"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander restlessly from forest to forest while the Reality is within your own home."
"The world is a prison, and we are its prisoners; let us break free from its chains, and find liberation."
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.
