I laugh when I hear the fish in the water is thirsty.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir I do not quote from the scriptures; I simply see what I see.

KabirKabir Stand firm in that which you are.
KabirKabir The man who is kind and who practices righteousness, who remains passive against the affairs of the world, who considers all creatures on earth as his own self, he attains the Immortal Being; the true God is ever with him.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.
KabirKabir 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.
