"Who can name Him, or know His will? Who can say from whence He comes? Remembering the Void, the simple One, a light burst forth [within me]; I offer myself to that Existence who is non-existence."
"Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream. Only sayings of the wise will remain."
"When 'I' was, God was not; when God is, 'I' am not. All darkness vanished when the lamp of truth lit within."
"I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me."
"Go to the temple and worship the idol? But the idol is made of stone. How can it speak to you?"
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.
