More from Kabir
"The wise man does not cling to anything, for he knows that everything is transient."
"If you don't find your soul in the world, look for it in words."
"What is God? He is the breath inside the breath."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
"The sacred thread is not a garment, but a feeling of love and compassion in the heart."
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.
