More from Kabir
"The world is a mirror, and we are its reflections; let us reflect the beauty of God, and not our own ugliness."
"The seed is in the plant, and the plant is in the seed."
"Time asks no questions, but always answers with change."
"Truth whispers to those who quiet the thunder within."
"Even a quiet heart shapes the world with its hidden song."
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.
