Kabir
Wherever you are is the entry point.
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

Kabir
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue

Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
Kabir
