More quotes by Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
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
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
Wherever you are is the entry point.
Kabir
The apple blossom exists to create fruit when that comes, the petal falls.
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
Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
Kabir
The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
Kabir
The savor of wandering in the ocean of deathless life has rid me of all my asking: As the tree is in the seed, so all diseases are in this asking.
Kabir
God, provide me with enough sustenance that my family is taken care of, that neither I remain hungry, nor does my guest go unfed.
Kabir
Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.
Kabir
Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
Kabir
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation. Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound.
Kabir
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
Kabir
