I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!

More quotes by 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
Go over and over your beads, paint weird designs on your forehead, wear your hear matted, long, and ostentatious, but when deep inside you there is a loaded gun, how can you have God?
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
I went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
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
Love does not grow on trees or brought in the market, but if one wants to be LOVED one must first know how to give (unconditional) LOVE.
Kabir
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
Nada is found within. It is a music without strings which plays in the body. It penetrates the inner and outer and leads you away from 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
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
Forgiveness is a game only saints play Kabir.
Kabir
The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
Kabir
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
The Beloved is inside you and also inside me. You know the tree is hidden inside the seed. Let your arrogance go. None of us has gone far. Inside love there is more power than we realize.
Kabir
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
