"The snake has poison, but it does not bite itself. The human has anger, but it bites himself."
"So many bodies, so many opinions! But my Beloved, though invisible, is in all these bodies. There is no life at all without the Beloved; the Self lives as each and every one."
"Even a quiet heart shapes the world with its hidden song."
"I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me."
"When you really look for me, you will see me instantly."
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.
