More from Kabir
"When questions dissolve, wisdom dances in unexpected alleys."
"The wise wash their pride before filling the cup of knowledge."
"In every pause between words, a deeper meaning calls out."
"The elephant walks, but the ant carries the burden. The powerful are weak, and the weak are powerful."
"The world is a dream, and we are the dreamers. Wake up from your sleep and see the reality."
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.
