More from Kabir
"Time asks no questions, but always answers with change."
"Patience does what force cannot: it reveals the heart's true colors."
"The dog barks, but the caravan passes on. The world barks, but the truth remains."
"The true devotee is a madman. He does not care for the world, nor for God. He only cares for love."
"The road to God is a narrow one. It is so narrow that two cannot walk abreast."
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.
