More from Kabir
"The path to God is not in going to Mecca or Varanasi, but in looking within."
"Take a pitcher full of water and set it down in the water-now it has water inside and water outside. We mustn't give it a name, lest silly people start talking again about the body and the soul."
"The road to God is a narrow one. It is so narrow that two cannot walk abreast."
"What, then, O friend, are you searching for like a fool? The object of your quest is within you, as the oil is in the sesame seed."
"I searched for the crooked man, but failed to find one. But when I searched within myself, I realized there was none more crooked than me!"
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.
