More from Kabir
"When you really look for me, you will see me instantly."
"The earth is a dish, and the sky is a lid. The sun and moon are lamps, and the stars are jewels."
"The world is a mirror, and we are its reflections; let us reflect the beauty of God, and not our own ugliness."
"Trust the still pond inside; it reflects the real sky."
"The beloved is hidden where you refuse to look: in yourself."
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.
