More quotes by Kabir
Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.
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
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
When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won't greet twice.
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
But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
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

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
Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
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
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
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
Forgiveness is a game only saints play Kabir.
Kabir
I do not quote from the scriptures I simply see what I see.
Kabir
Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
Kabir
A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
Kabir
Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.
Kabir
