BEING & NON-BEING

The kind man discovers it and calls it kind;the wise man discovers it and calls it wise;the common people use it every dayand are not aware of it.

Words are just wordsActors are just words

Your words are full of yourself

You can fool othersYou can fool yourself

But you cannot fool the primal order of being

the map is not the territory

O servant, where dost thou seek Me?Lo! I am beside thee.I am neither in temple nor in mosque:I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash: Neither am I in rites and ceremonies,nor in Yoga and renunciation.If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at oncesee Me: thou shalt meet Me in a momentof time.Kabir says, “O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath.”

I can't remember things before they happen It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards

If you want to become full,let yourself be empty.

If you want to be whole, let yourself be partial.
