Kabir

The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it:

— Kabir

Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream. Only sayings of the wise will remain.

— Kabir

I've burned my own house down, the torch is in my hand. Now I'll burn down the house of anyone who wants to follow me.

— Kabir

Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.

— 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

A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.

— Kabir

O servant, where dost thou seek Me?If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.

— Kabir

Kabîr says, "O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath."

It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs;Even Raidas was a seeker after God.

— Kabir

Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End, where remains no mark of distinction.

— Kabir

O friend! hope for Him whilst you live, know whilst you live, understand whilst you live: for in life deliverance abides.If you have union now, you shall have it hereafter.

— Kabir

Do not go to the garden of flowers!Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus, and there gaze on the Infinite Beauty.

— Kabir

Open your eyes of love, and see Him who pervades this world! consider it well, and know that this is your own country.

— Kabir

When you meet the true Guru, He will awaken your heart; He will tell you the secret of love and detachment, and then you will know indeed that He transcends this universe.

— Kabir

He is the Ultimate Rest unbounded: He has spread His form of love throughout all the world.From that Ray which is Truth, streams of new forms are perpetually springing: and He pervades those forms.

— Kabir

There the Unstruck Music eddies around the Infinite One;Millions of suns are shamed by the radiance of a single hair of His body.

— Kabir

On the harp of the road what true melodies are being sounded! and its notes pierce the heart:There the Eternal Fountain is playing its endless life-streams of birth and death.

— Kabir

He comes to the Path of the Infinite on whom the grace of the Lord descends: he is freed from births and deaths who attains to Him.Kabîr says: "It cannot be told by the words of the mouth, it cannot be written on paper: It is like a dumb person who tastes a sweet thing — how shall it be explained?"

— Kabir

I do not quote from the scriptures;I simply see what I see.

— Kabir

I am not a Hindu, With joy and sorrow.
