More quotes by Kabir
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
Kabir

Kabir

The instruction of the foolish is a waste of knowledge soap cannot wash charcoal white.
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
Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.

Kabir
