More from Kabir
"The true devotee is a madman. He does not care for the world, nor for God. He only cares for love."
"Do what you do with another human being, but never put your trust in the way."
"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander here and there in search of water, but there is no water anywhere."
"The breath is the boat, the mind is the oarsman. The body is the river, and the ocean is God."
"The flute of the Infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love."
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.
