More quotes by Kabir
Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
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
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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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
Seeking Why run around sprinkling holy water? There's an ocean inside you, and when you're ready you'll drink.
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 went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
Kabir
