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.
Only sayings of the wise will remain.
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in That which you are.
IT cannot be told by the words of the mouth, it cannot be written on paper: It is like a dumb person who tastes a sweet thing — how shall it be explained?
Having crossed the river,
where will you go, O friend ?
There's no road to tread,
No traveler ahead,
Neither a beginning, nor an end.
There's no water, no boat, no boatman, no cord;
No earth is there, no sky, no time, no bank, no ford.
You have forgotten the Self within,
Your search in the void will be in vain;
In a moment the life will ebb
And in this body you won't remain.
Be ever conscious of this, O friend,
You've to immerse within your Self;
Kabir says, salvation you won't then need,
For what you are, you would be indeed.

I burst into laughter whenever I hear that the fish is thirsty in water.
Lift the veil that obscures the heart,
and there you will find what you are looking for.
and there you will find what you are looking for.
Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
you will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine
rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals:
not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding
around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but
vegetables.
When you really look for me, you will see me
instantly —
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.

All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.
