More quotes by 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
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
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach 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
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
Listen to me brother! bring the vision of the Beloved in your heart
Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion
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
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
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 you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
The man who is kind and who practices righteousness, who remains passive against the affairs of the world, who considers all creatures on earth as his own self, he attains the Immortal Being the true God is ever with him.
Kabir
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
Kabir
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
Kabir
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
