More from Kabir
"The river is in the ocean, and the ocean is in the river. The world is in God, and God is in the world."
"When the mind is quiet, then the body is quiet. When the body is quiet, then the soul is quiet. When the soul is quiet, then God is quiet."
"O servant, where dost thou seek Me? Lo! I am beside thee. I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash."
"The world is a dream, and the dream is real."
"The breath is the boat, the mind is the oarsman. The body is the river, and the ocean is God."
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.
