More from Kabir
"I went in search of a bad person; I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst."
"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty."
"The earth is a dish, and the sky is a lid. The sun and moon are lamps, and the stars are jewels."
"When the mind is quiet, then the body is quiet. When the body is quiet, then the soul is quiet. When the soul is quiet, then God is quiet."
"I am looking for the one who is looking for 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.
