More from Kabir
"What is found now is found then."
"You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house; and you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!"
"The potter makes pots, but the pots break. The weaver weaves cloth, but the cloth tears."
"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."
"The seeker is thirsty, but the water is in the well. The well is in the house, but the house is locked."
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.
