More from Kabir
"Go to the temple and worship the idol? But the idol is made of stone. How can it speak to you?"
"The true prayer is not to ask for anything, but to be grateful for everything."
"If you want to find God, stop looking for him in temples and mosques. Look inside your own heart."
"The lamp of awareness burns brightest when desire is forgotten."
"The fish swims in water but never gets wet."
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.
