"If you want the truth, I’ll tell you the truth: Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you."

"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.
