Kabir
When the flower opens, the bees will come.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.

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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
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
Love does not grow on trees or brought in the market, but if one wants to be LOVED one must first know how to give (unconditional) LOVE.
Kabir
