Kabir

There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman._x000D_ There is not even a rope to tow the boat, and no one to pull it._x000D_ There is no earth, no sky, no time, no thing, no shore, no ford!

The purpose of labor is to learn;_x000D_ when you know it, the labor is over.

Do not go to the garden of flowers!_x000D_ O friend! go not there;_x000D_ In your body is the garden of flowers._x000D_ Take your seat on the thousand petals of the_x000D_ lotus, and there gaze on the infinite beauty.

I do not quote from the scriptures;_x000D_ I simply see what I see.

Do not keep the slanderer away,_x000D_ treat him with affection and honor:_x000D_ Body and soul, he scours all clean,_x000D_ babbling about this and that.

When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?

If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?

Faith,Waiting in the heart of a seed, Promises a miracle of life which cannot prove at once.

The river that flows in you also flows in me.

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.

Nada is found within. It is a music without strings which plays in the body. It penetrates the inner and outer and leads you away from illusion.
