More quotes by Kabir
The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
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
What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.
Kabir
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander restlessly from forest to forest while the Reality is within your own dwelling.
Kabir
The instruction of the foolish is a waste of knowledge soap cannot wash charcoal white.
Kabir
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
Kabir
As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
God, provide me with enough sustenance that my family is taken care of, that neither I remain hungry, nor does my guest go unfed.
Kabir
Path presupposes distance If He be near, no path needest thou at all. Verily it maketh me smile To hear of a fish in water athirst!
Kabir
Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir
Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
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
When the flower opens, the bees will come.
Kabir
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
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!
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
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
