More from Kabir
"If I say, 'He is One,' it is a lie; if I say, 'He is two,' I am guilty of slander. Kabir knows Him as He is, but cannot express Him."
"The wise man does not boast of his knowledge, nor does he hide his ignorance."
"The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart."
"Falsehood carries weight no vessel can bear for long."
"The drum beats, but the dancer sleeps. The world dances, but the truth sleeps."
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.
