"O scholars, you are mistaken; there's no creator or creation there [in the experience of Unity]. There's no radiant form, no time, no word, no flesh, or faith; no cause or effect, or even a thought of…"
"The wind blows, and the dust rises. But the dust cannot touch the wind."
"I sell mirrors in the city of the blind."
"Bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajoor. Panthi ko chhaya nahin, phal lage atidoor. (What good is it to be big like a date palm tree? It gives no shade to travelers, and its fruit is far out of reach.)"
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.
