More from Kabir
"When 'I' was, God was not; when God is, 'I' am not. All darkness vanished when the lamp of truth lit within."
"If you want to know the truth, I tell you the truth: there is no God but the God of all."
"The river flows to the ocean, and the soul flows to God."
"Your Lord lives within you; what do you search for outside?"
"Truth whispers to those who quiet the thunder within."
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.
