More quotes by Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
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
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
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
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.

Kabir
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
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
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
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
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
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
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
Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
