"The world is a prison, and we are its prisoners; let us break free from its chains, and find liberation."

"The Pandits and the Mullahs read their books endlessly, but they never dive into the sea."
"Grief is the ink with which joy rewrites the soul's story."
"What's the use of being tall, like the date tree? It gives no shade to travelers, and its fruit is hard to reach."
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.
