More quotes by Kabir
Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!
Kabir
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation. Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound.
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
Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
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
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
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
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
Kabir
The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
Kabir
What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.
Kabir
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
I went in search of a bad person I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
Kabir
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
Kabir
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
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
The essence of life is in remembering God.
Kabir
Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion
Kabir
Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart
Kabir
