More from Kabir
"The devotee is a cow, and the Guru is a herdsman; the milk is the nectar of devotion, and the churner is the contemplation of God."
"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 world is a mirror, and we are its reflections; let us reflect the beauty of God, and not our own ugliness."
"In every pause between words, a deeper meaning calls out."
"The wise man does not distinguish between Hindu and Muslim, for he sees the same God in all."
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.
