"When you really look for me, you will see me instantly."
"The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you, as life is in every seed."
"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
"The devotee is a fool, and the master is a trickster. The fool follows the trickster, and the trickster makes a fool of the fool."
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.
