More quotes by Kabir
As long as I talked unceasingly about the Lord,The Lord stayed away, kept at a distance.But when I silenced my mouth, sat very stillAnd fixed my mind at the doorway of the Lord,I was linked to the music of the Word,And all my talking came to an end.
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
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
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
Do not keep the slanderer away, treat him with affection and honor: Body and soul, he scours all clean, babbling about this and that.
Kabir

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
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.

Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
I've burned my own house down, the torch is in my hand.Now I'll burn down the house of anyone who wants to follow me.
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
Do you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
The savor of wandering in the ocean of deathless life has rid me of all my asking: As the tree is in the seed, so all diseases are in this asking.
Kabir
Wherever you are is the entry point.
Kabir
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
