More from Kabir
"What's the use of being tall, like the date tree? It gives no shade to travelers, and its fruit is hard to reach."
"He who carries little walks freely under the burdened sky."
"The mirror never lies, nor does the still mind."
"The path to God is straight, but men have made it crooked with their rituals and ceremonies."
"The true prayer is not to ask for anything, but to be grateful for everything."
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.
