"The mirror never lies, nor does the still mind."
"Time asks no questions, but always answers with change."
"The river within can only be crossed when silence is deep enough."
"You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house; and you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!"
"He wraps gold in dust, who wishes for beauty without struggle."
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.
