More from Kabir
"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander restlessly from forest to forest while the Reality is within your own home."
"I am not a Hindu, Nor a Muslim am I. I am this body, a play of five elements, a drama of the spirit dancing with joy and sorrow."
"Kabir, take no pride in high dwellings. Death levels all to earth, grass grows above."
"Grow not in height alone; stretch your roots in grateful earth."
"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.
