More from Kabir
"He who carries little walks freely under the burdened sky."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
"The breath is the boat, the mind is the oarsman. The body is the river, and the ocean is God."
"Truth whispers to those who quiet the thunder within."
"The world is a mirror, and we are its reflections; let us reflect the beauty of God, and not our own ugliness."
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.
