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

Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
Kabir
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!
Kabir
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
