More from Kabir
"The world is a stage, and we are its actors; let us play our roles with sincerity, for the show will soon be over."
"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."
"The flute of the Infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love."
"The sacred thread is not a garment, but a feeling of love and compassion in the heart."
"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."
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.
