More from Kabir
"The Pandits and the Mullahs read their books endlessly, but they never dive into the sea."
"I am not a Hindu, Nor a Muslim am I. I am this body, a play of five elements, a drama of the spirit dancing with joy and sorrow."
"The seeker is thirsty, but the water is in the well. The well is in the house, but the house is locked."
"Empty words echo; truth resounds from the core."
"The bird sings, but it does not know why. The human speaks, but he does not know why."
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.
