More from Kabir
"The true prayer is not to ask for anything, but to be grateful for everything."
"I am not a Hindu, Nor a Muslim am I. I am this body, a play of five elements, a drama of the spirit dancing with joy and sorrow."
"If by worshipping stones one can find God, I shall worship a mountain."
"He is the true Guru who can reveal the form of the Formless to the vision of the disciple."
"Take a pitcher full of water and set it down in the water-now it has water inside and water outside. We mustn't give it a name, lest silly people start talking again about the body and the soul."
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.
