"The devotee is a dog, and the master a butcher. The dog follows the butcher, and the butcher kills the dog."
"A closed fist gathers dust, but an open palm gathers blessings."
"Me, I'm drunk on love! Why should I connive? I stay free of the world. What friend of it am I? If you leave the one you love, You wander door to door. My friend's inside of me. Who am I waiting for?"
"I went looking for the worst man, but I found none; then I looked in my own heart, and there he was."
"The fool searches for God in temples and mosques, but the wise man finds Him in his own heart."
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.
