More from Kabir
"Patience does what force cannot: it reveals the heart's true colors."
"The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light."
"The sacred thread is not a garment, but a feeling of love and compassion in the heart."
"When you really look for me, you will see me instantly."
"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."
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.
