More from Kabir
"Let each moment be a guest, not a prisoner of longing."
"Grow not in height alone; stretch your roots in grateful earth."
"The beloved is hidden where you refuse to look: in yourself."
"The world is a prison, and we are its prisoners; let us break free from its chains, and find liberation."
"Embrace the ache of not knowing; it opens secret doors."
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.
