More quotes by Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
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
Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
Kabir
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander restlessly from forest to forest while the Reality is within your own dwelling.
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
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
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
The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you,as life is in every seed, put false pride away and seek the Lord within.
Kabir
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
Kabir

Kabir
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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
Though One Brahman is the Cause of the Many. ... Behold but One in all things it is the second that leads you astray.
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
