The world will die, but I shall not die.If God dies, then I will die;If he does not die, then why should I die?
KABIRThe world will die, but I shall not die.If God dies, then I will die;If he does not die, then why should I die?
KABIRBe strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet.
KABIRListen to me brother! bring the vision of the Beloved in your heart.
KABIRThe essence of life is in remembering God.
KABIRReading books everyone died, none became any wise. One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise.
KABIRAs long as a human being worries about when he will die, and what he has that is his, all of his works are zero. When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead, then the work of the Teacher is over.
KABIRBe 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.
KABIRJust throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
KABIRI 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.
KABIRIf you don’t break your ropes while you’re alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?
KABIRThere is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman. There is not even a rope to tow the boat, and no one to pull it. There is no earth, no sky, no time, no thing, no shore, no ford!
KABIRAll darkness vanished, when I saw the Lamp within my heart.
KABIRBe strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet. Think about it carefully! Don’t go off somewhere else! just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
KABIRStudent, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
KABIRThe 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.
KABIRWhat is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.
KABIR
