More from Kabir
"The devotee is a cow, and the Guru is a herdsman; the milk is the nectar of devotion, and the churner is the contemplation of God."
"The elephant walks, but the ant carries the burden. The powerful are weak, and the weak are powerful."
"Patience does what force cannot: it reveals the heart's true colors."
"Truth untethers the heart and frees burdens unseen."
"The night is dark, but the stars are bright. The world is dark, but the truth is bright."
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.
