More quotes by Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
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
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
Forgiveness is a game only saints play Kabir.
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
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
Seeking Why run around sprinkling holy water? There's an ocean inside you, and when you're ready you'll drink.
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir

Kabir
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
The apple blossom exists to create fruit when that comes, the petal falls.
Kabir
The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you,as life is in every seed, put false pride away and seek the Lord within.
Kabir
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
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
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
