More from Kabir
"The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it: The moon is within me, and so is the sun. The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it."
"I am not in the temple, nor in the mosque, nor in the Kaaba, nor in Kailash. I am not in rites or ceremonies, nor in yoga or renunciation."
"The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart."
"A closed fist gathers dust, but an open palm gathers blessings."
"When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the search for Him that does all the work."
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.
