Kabir
I went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
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
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir
Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
Kabir
