Both poets reject ritual purity used as exclusion. Kabir mocks temple rituals. Vemana mocks priestly pride. They declare: Without inner purity, outer purity is meaningless. Kabir Hindi पाथर पूजे हरि मिले, तो मैं पूजूँ पहाड़। ताते यह चाकी भली, पीस खाए संसार॥ Meaning “If worshipping stone brought God, I would worship a mountain. Better worship the grinding stone that feeds the world.” Vemana He echoes the same: Temple pride is hollow if the heart is impure.
