More quotes by Kabir
There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman. There is not even a rope to tow the boat, and no one to pull it. There is no earth, no sky, no time, no thing, no shore, no ford!
Kabir
I don't think there is such a thing as an intelligent mega-rich person. For who with a fine mind can look out upon this world and hoard what can nourish a thousand souls.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
The savor of wandering in the ocean of deathless life has rid me of all my asking: As the tree is in the seed, so all diseases are in this asking.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
Kabir
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation. Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound.
Kabir
Though One Brahman is the Cause of the Many. ... Behold but One in all things it is the second that leads you astray.
Kabir
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart
Kabir
When the flower opens, the bees will come.
Kabir
Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion
Kabir
Men have always looked before and after, and rebelled against the existing order. But for their divine discontent, men would not have been men, and there would have been no progress in human affairs.
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
Wherever you are is the entry point.
Kabir
Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
Kabir
Do not keep the slanderer away, treat him with affection and honor: Body and soul, he scours all clean, babbling about this and that.
Kabir
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir
Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
Kabir
