Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
KABIRLook at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!
KABIRI am not a Hindu, Nor a Muslim, I am this body, a play Of five elements a drama Of the spirit dancing With joy and sorrow.
KABIRAs 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.
KABIRIf you make love with the divine now, in the next life you will have the face of satisfied desire.
KABIRI’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.
KABIRPath 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!
KABIRPlunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!
KABIRAll know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
KABIRI laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander restlessly from forest to forest while the Reality is within your own dwelling.
KABIRFor millions of years you have slept. This morning, will you not wake?
KABIRReading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
KABIRWhy are we here? To become ourselves in you.
KABIRI 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.
KABIRAll darkness vanished, when I saw the Lamp within my heart.
KABIRThere’s a moon in my body, but I can’t see it! A moon and a sun. A drum never touched by hands, beating, and I can’t hear it!
KABIRDo not go to the garden of flowers! O friend! go not there; In your body is the garden of flowers. Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus, and there gaze on the infinite beauty.
KABIR
