"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
"Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten."
"In the garden of truth, even the weeds have stories to tell."
"Pretenses crumble, but the stone of truth shapes character."
"All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop."
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.
