More from Kabir
"If you want to find God, stop looking for him in temples and mosques. Look inside your own heart."
"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."
"A potter makes pots of many shapes and sizes, but all are made of the same clay."
"If I say, 'He is One,' it is a lie; if I say, 'He is two,' I am guilty of slander. Kabir knows Him as He is, but cannot express Him."
"The night is dark, but the stars are bright. The world is dark, but the truth is bright."
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.
