"The home is the abiding place; in the home is reality; the home helps to attain Him Who is real. So stay where you are, and all things shall come to you in time."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
"Chalti chakki dekh kar, diya Kabira roye. Dui paatan ke beech mein, sabit bacha na koye. (Seeing the grinding mill, Kabir wept. Between the two stones, no one remains whole.)"
"The mind is a monkey, and the heart is a bird. The monkey jumps, and the bird flies."
"I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me."
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.
