PROFOUND QUOTES OF SANT KABIR AND INSPIRED NON-POEM

The birth anniversary of Sant Kabir, popularly known as Kabir Jayanti, is celebrated by the followers on Jyeshtha Purnima as per Hindu lunar calendar. In 2024, the observance falls on June 22. He was great spiritualist, seeker, saint, social reformers and poet of 16th Century and his work has been incorporated in 

Holy Sikh scripture Sri Guru Granth Sahibji. He is regarded a lead saint of Bhakti Movement of India who believed in purification of mind as the first and foremost duty of human being to lead a devotional life.

KABIR QUOTES

  • Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.
  • Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you. The one no one talks of speaks the secret sound to himself, and he is the one who has made it all.
  • Life - the veil that obscures the heart, and there you will find what you are looking for.
  • If you cannot understand something, then you have understood it incorrectly.
  • Only they are pure who’ve completely cleansed their thinking.
  • The devout seeker is the one who mingles in his heart the double currents of love and detachment
  • He who is within is without: I see Him and none else.
  • Behold but One in all things; it is the second that leads you astray       
      ~ Sant Kabir

 INSPIRED NON-POEM

 God - Existential Truth

It can't be found

In worship places, idols, symbols

Nor can be described in words

What is perceived

By mind-n-senses

Is not Truth

***

 Truth has no attributes

No words can describe it -

It's to be discovered within

Truth is beyond thoughts

Truth is timeless, spaceless

Truth is transcendental

It's pure-awareness

***

Self-discovery, self-knowledge

Self-realization are paths

World is illusions

Awareness alone will

Overcome illusions

Dispel darkness of ignorance

***

Deem transient world false

Just be detached witness

For eternal awareness

To manifest-n-reveal

The existential Truth

Pure-n-divine conscious

Within-n-without all over

All through cosmos
