"I went in search of a bad person; I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst."
"God dwells in you like the pupil in the eye. Fools search outside, unaware."
"The river within can only be crossed when silence is deep enough."
"The true devotion is to live in harmony with all creatures, and to see the divine in every form."
"I am looking for the one who is looking for me."
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.
