More quotes by 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
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
Seeking Why run around sprinkling holy water? There's an ocean inside you, and when you're ready you'll drink.
Kabir
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
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
Wherever you are is the entry point.
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
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
Nada is found within. It is a music without strings which plays in the body. It penetrates the inner and outer and leads you away from illusion.
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
The instruction of the foolish is a waste of knowledge soap cannot wash charcoal white.
Kabir
The apple blossom exists to create fruit when that comes, the petal falls.
Kabir
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart
Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
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
What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.
Kabir
Forgiveness is a game only saints play Kabir.
Kabir
I went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
Kabir
When the flower opens, the bees will come.
Kabir
