More quotes by Kabir
Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
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
Go over and over your beads, paint weird designs on your forehead, wear your hear matted, long, and ostentatious, but when deep inside you there is a loaded gun, how can you have God?
Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
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
Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
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
As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.
Kabir
Nada is found within. It is a music without strings which plays in the body. It penetrates the inner and outer and leads you away from illusion.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
Kabir
Though One Brahman is the Cause of the Many. ... Behold but One in all things it is the second that leads you astray.
Kabir
Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion
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
Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
