More from Kabir
Why are we here? To become ourselves in you.
KabirKabir Reading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir Forgiveness is a game only saints play Kabir.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir The flute of the infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love.
KabirKabir 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.
KabirKabir Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion.
