More from Kabir
"The lamp of awareness burns brightest when desire is forgotten."
"The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
"The world is a market, and we are its buyers and sellers; let us buy and sell with honesty, for we shall be held accountable."
"The true devotion is to live in harmony with all creatures, and to see the divine in every form."
"What is found now is found then."
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.
