"If you don't know what the dark is, you don't know what light is."
"If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?"
"The sacred thread is not a garment, but a feeling of love and compassion in the heart."
"What's the use of being tall, like the date tree? It gives no shade to travelers, and its fruit is hard to reach."
"The tree is in the seed, the seed is in the tree. The world is in the body, the body is in the world."
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.
