More from Kabir
"The true worship of God is to serve humanity."
"The sun rises, and the moon sets. The day ends, and the night begins. But the truth remains."
"The river flows to the ocean, and the soul flows to God."
"Truth untethers the heart and frees burdens unseen."
"My mind is a mad elephant, and my body is a cage; the elephant wants to break free, but the cage holds it back."
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.
