More from Kabir
"If you do not cut the noose of your karma while living, what hope is there of liberation when you are dead? It is a hopeless dream to think that union will come after the soul leaves the body."
"The path to God is straight, but men have made it crooked with their rituals and ceremonies."
"If you don't break, you won't know what is inside."
"The tree is in the seed, the seed is in the tree. The world is in the body, the body is in the world."
"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
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.
