More quotes by 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

Kabir

Kabir
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
Kabir
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
Kabir
Men have always looked before and after, and rebelled against the existing order. But for their divine discontent, men would not have been men, and there would have been no progress in human affairs.
Kabir
The essence of life is in remembering God.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
Do you believe there is some place that will make thesoul less thirsty? In that great absence you will find nothing.
Kabir
