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?

More quotes by 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
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
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
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
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
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
It is the spirit of the quest which helps
Kabir
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
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
A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue
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
I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
Kabir
All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
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
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
