“Don’t open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.”

God, provide me with enough sustenance that my family is taken care of, that neither I remain hungry, nor does my guest go unfed.

The purpose of labor is to learn; when you know it, the labor is over.

The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you,as life is in every seed, put false pride away and seek the Lord within.

What is a holy person? The one who is aware of others’ suffering.

My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.

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.

Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am!

Be strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet.

The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when that comes, the petal falls.

Why are we here? To become ourselves in you.

Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.

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.

Forgiveness is a game only saints play 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.

The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.

Take a pitcher full of water and set it down in the water-now it has water inside and water outside. We mustn’t give it a name, lest silly people start talking again about the body and the soul.

On every birthday, I ask my wife, ‘What would you like this year?’ and her instant reply is, ‘Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!’

Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.

It is the dialogue that lets the brilliance of the diamond’s infinite facets shine clearly. It is the dialogue that instills within us a power and capacity that is, and always has been, saturated with meaning.

Bowie’s been a huge influence on me. I remember early on, my dad pulling out the ‘Diamond Dogs’ album, and the cover alone just grabbed my attention. I think I was probably around 12.

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

The Holy Scripture is like a diamond: in the dark it is like a piece of glass, but as soon as the light strikes it the water begins to sparkle, and the scintillation of life greets us.

At the edge of madness you howl diamonds and pearls.

What wretched poverty of language! To compare stars to diamonds!
