Kabir
Do not keep the slanderer away, treat him with affection and honor: Body and soul, he scours all clean, babbling about this and that.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart

I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
