Additional quotes by Kabir

Piščal Neskončnega neprenehoma igra,
njen zvok je čista ljubezen.
Ko se ljubezen osvobodi spon, seže po resnici.
Kako širno se razlega ta zven!
Nima konca in nič mu ne stoji napoti.
Podoba te melodije sije kakor milijone sonc.
To brenkalo je brez primere-
brenkalo, ki oddaja note resnice.

A sore pain troubles me day and night, and I cannot sleep; I long for the meeting with my Beloved, and my father's house gives me pleasure no more. The gates of the sky are opened, the temple is revealed: I meet my husband, and leave at His feet the offering of my body and my mind.

O friend! hope for Him whilst you live, know whilst you live, understand whilst you live: for in life deliverance abides.
If your bonds be not broken whilst living, what hope of deliverance in death?
It is but an empty dream, that the soul shall have union with Him because it has passed from the body:
If He is found now, He is found then,
If not, we do but go to dwell in the City of Death.
If you have union now, you shall have it hereafter.
