More quotes by Kabir

Kabir
As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.
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
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

Kabir
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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.

Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
Kabir
