Kabir Quotes

Podoba te melodije sije kakor milijone sonc.
To brenkalo je brez primere-
brenkalo, ki oddaja note resnice.

In that state there is no air or water, and no creation or creator; There is no bud or flower, and no fetus or semen; There is no education or Vedas, and no word or taste; There is no body or settlement, and no earth, air or space; There is no guru or disciple, and no easy or difficult path.

Sakhi: That state is very strange. I cannot explain it. It has no village or resting place. That state is without gunas (qualities). What name can on give it?

There's a sea in every house.
