More from Kabir
"I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God."
"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 home is the abiding place; in the home is reality; the home helps to attain Him Who is real. So stay where you are, and all things shall come to you in time."
"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."
"Between the poles of the conscious and the unconscious, there has the mind made a swing: Thereon hang all beings and all worlds, and that swing never ceases its sway."
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.
