More quotes by Kabir

Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
As long as I talked unceasingly about the Lord,The Lord stayed away, kept at a distance.But when I silenced my mouth, sat very stillAnd fixed my mind at the doorway of the Lord,I was linked to the music of the Word,And all my talking came to an end.
Kabir

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
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart
Kabir
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir
The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you,as life is in every seed, put false pride away and seek the Lord within.
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
Wherever you are is the entry point.
Kabir
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
