More from Kabir
"The sacred thread is not a garment, but a feeling of love and compassion in the heart."
"The true devotion is to love all creatures, and to harm none."
"Go to the temple and worship the idol? But the idol is made of stone. How can it speak to you?"
"The world dies reading endless books, but none becomes wise. He alone is truly learned who reads the two-and-a-half letters of Love."
"The devotee is a cow, and the Guru is a herdsman; the milk is the nectar of devotion, and the churner is the contemplation of God."
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.
