More quotes by Kabir
Men have always looked before and after, and rebelled against the existing order. But for their divine discontent, men would not have been men, and there would have been no progress in human affairs.
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
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
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
Listen to me brother! bring the vision of the Beloved in your heart
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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
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
Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
Kabir
Only in the heart can one experience the divine presence of truth.
Kabir
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
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
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
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
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
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
The instruction of the foolish is a waste of knowledge soap cannot wash charcoal white.
Kabir
