More from Kabir
"God dwells in you like the pupil in the eye. Fools search outside, unaware."
"The river within can only be crossed when silence is deep enough."
"The true Guru is like a lamp, and the disciple is a moth. The moth circles the lamp, but the lamp does not move."
"The lamp is in the house, but the blind man cannot see it."
"What is God? He is the breath inside the breath."
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.
