More quotes by Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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 stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
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
When the flower opens, the bees will come.
Kabir
Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.
Kabir
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
Do you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.
Kabir
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
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
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
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
Kabir
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
