"I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God."
"The true prayer is not to ask for anything, but to be grateful for everything."
"Truth untethers the heart and frees burdens unseen."
"The earth is a dish, and the sky is a lid. The sun and moon are lamps, and the stars are jewels."
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.
