More from Kabir
"Between the poles of the conscious and the unconscious, there has the mind made a swing."
"The potter makes pots, but the pots break. The weaver weaves cloth, but the cloth tears."
"Kabir, take no pride in high dwellings. Death levels all to earth, grass grows above."
"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."
"The middle path is the way of wisdom."
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.
