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.

More quotes by Kabir
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation. Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
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 fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
The apple blossom exists to create fruit when that comes, the petal falls.
Kabir
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
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
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

Kabir
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir

Kabir
When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work. Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.
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
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
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
