More from Kabir
"Light does not argue with darkness; it simply exists gently."
"What is found now is found then."
"The moon is in the sky, but its light is on the earth."
"Time asks no questions, but always answers with change."
"The world is a prison, and we are its prisoners; let us break free from its chains, and find liberation."
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.
