More from Kabir
"The devotee is a cow, and the Guru is a herdsman; the milk is the nectar of devotion, and the churner is the contemplation of God."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
"Do what you do with another human being, but never put your trust in the way."
"The breath of all life is the Lord."
"The true knowledge is to know oneself, and to know God."
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.
