More quotes by 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
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
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
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
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
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
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
Wherever you are is the entry point.
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
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
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
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
I don't think there is such a thing as an intelligent mega-rich person. For who with a fine mind can look out upon this world and hoard what can nourish a thousand souls.
Kabir
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart
Kabir
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
Kabir
When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work. Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.
Kabir
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
Kabir
