"The world is a dream, and life is a play. The actors are many, but the director is one."
"Kabir, take no pride in high dwellings. Death levels all to earth, grass grows above."
"If you don't know what the dark is, you don't know what light is."
"The fish swims in water but never gets wet."
"The river that flows in you also flows in 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.
