More quotes by Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
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
Only in the heart can one experience the divine presence of truth.
Kabir
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
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
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir
The man who is kind and who practices righteousness, who remains passive against the affairs of the world, who considers all creatures on earth as his own self, he attains the Immortal Being the true God is ever with him.
Kabir
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
Wherever you are is the entry point.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
Forgiveness is a game only saints play Kabir.
Kabir
Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart
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
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
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
