More from Kabir
"The night is dark, but the stars are bright. The world is dark, but the truth is bright."
"If you seek the divine, notice the light in ordinary moments."
"A closed fist gathers dust, but an open palm gathers blessings."
"The lamp of awareness burns brightest when desire is forgotten."
"The devotee is a cow, and the Guru is the cowherd. The cow is tied, but the cowherd is free."
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.
