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

Kabir

Kabir

As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.
Kabir

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
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
