More from Kabir
"I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God."
"Truth is not shouted, but found in the hush between breaths."
"The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
"The sacred texts are like a map, but the true path is within your own heart."
"A river forgets the banks but not the source where it began."
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.
