Quotes

“I've burned my own house down, the torch is in my hand. Now I'll burn down the house of anyone who wants to follow me.”
“Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.”
“Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.”
“A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.”
“O servant, where dost thou seek Me?Lo! I am beside thee.I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash:Neither am I in rites and ceremonies, nor in Yoga and renunciation.If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.”
“Kabîr says, "O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath."”

Kabir ( 15th century) was a well-known Indian devotional mystic poet and saint. His writings influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement, and his verses are found in Sikhism's scripture Guru Granth Sahib, the Satguru Granth Sahib of Saint Garib Das, and Kabir Sagar of Dharamdas. Today, Kabir is an important figure in Hinduism, Sikhism and in Sufism. He was a disciple of Ramananda, the founder of the Ramanandi Sampradaya.

Born in the city of Varanasi in what is now Uttar Pradesh, he is known for being critical of organised religions. He questioned what he regarded to be the meaningless and unethical practices of all religions, primarily what he considered to be the wrong practices in Hinduism and Islam. During his lifetime, he was threatened by both Hindus and Muslims for his views. When he died, several Hindus and the Muslims he had inspired claimed him as theirs.
