More quotes by Kabir
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
Kabir
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.
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
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
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
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
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
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
Kabir
Do you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.
Kabir
Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
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
Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
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 what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.
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
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
