"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander here and there in search of water, but there is no water anywhere."
"The river that flows in you also flows in me."
"The true devotion is to live in harmony with all creatures, and to see the divine in every form."
"A whisper of truth speaks louder than thunderous deceit."
"The Pandits and the Mullahs read their books endlessly, but they never dive into the sea."
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.
