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

Kabir
Wherever you are is the entry point.
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

Kabir
When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work. Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
I went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
Kabir
The apple blossom exists to create fruit when that comes, the petal falls.
Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
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
