"The wise man does not boast of his knowledge, nor does he hide his ignorance."
"When you really look for me, you will see me instantly."
"Seeing the grinding mill, Kabir wept. Between stones, nothing stays whole."

"Pretenses crumble, but the stone of truth shapes character."
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.
