Kabir

Kabir
Seeking Why run around sprinkling holy water? There's an ocean inside you, and when you're ready you'll drink.
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
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Kabir
The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you,as life is in every seed, put false pride away and seek the Lord within.

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