More from Kabir
"Kabir, take no pride in high dwellings. Death levels all to earth, grass grows above."
"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."
"The water is clear, but the fish are muddy. The sky is clear, but the clouds are muddy."
"The cow eats grass, but gives milk. The human eats food, but gives words."
"To listen is to plant a seed in the silent heart."
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.
