More from Kabir
"He who carries little walks freely under the burdened sky."
"I am looking for the one who is looking for me."
"The true mantra is not a word, but a state of mind; it is the remembrance of God in every breath."
"God dwells in you like the pupil in the eye. Fools search outside, unaware."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
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.
