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
When the flower opens, the bees will come.
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
The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
