More from Kabir
"He who carries little walks freely under the burdened sky."
"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
"The road to God is a narrow one. It is so narrow that two cannot walk abreast."
"What is found now is found then."
"If you don't find your soul in the world, look for it in words."
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.
