More from Kabir
"The wise man does not cling to anything, for he knows that everything is transient."
"Between the pillars of spirit and matter the mind has put up a swing."
"The moon is in the sky, but its light is on the earth."
"The world is a stage, and we are its actors; let us play our roles with sincerity, for the show will soon be over."
"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."
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.
