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
Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
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
Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion
Kabir

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
Image
I went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
Kabir
Image
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
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
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
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
The essence of life is in remembering God.
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
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
Image
Do you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
