More from Kabir
"When 'I' was, God was not; when God is, 'I' am not. All darkness vanished when the lamp of truth lit within."
"The lamp is in the house, but the blind man cannot see it."
"The lotus blooms in the mud, but it is not of the mud."
"Time asks no questions, but always answers with change."
"In the garden of truth, even the weeds have stories to tell."
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.
