More quotes by Kabir

Image
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
Image
Wherever you are is the entry point.
Kabir
Image
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
Image
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
Image
Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.
Kabir
Image
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
Image
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
Image
Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir
Image
Do you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
Image
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir
Image
Listen to me brother! bring the vision of the Beloved in your heart
Kabir
Image
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
Kabir
Image
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
Kabir
Image
Go over and over your beads, paint weird designs on your forehead, wear your hear matted, long, and ostentatious, but when deep inside you there is a loaded gun, how can you have God?
Kabir
Image
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
Image
Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
Kabir
Image
The apple blossom exists to create fruit when that comes, the petal falls.
Kabir
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
