Only sayings of the wise will remain

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.

 

~~ Kabir, The Bijak of Kabir

 

Kabir ( कबीर) was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism’s Bhakti movement.

Critics

निंदक नियरे राखिये, आँगन कुटी छवाय |

बिन पानी बिन साबुन, निर्मल करे सुभाव ||

Keep your critic close, you get to know your faults if someone criticizes you, and you have a chance to correct them. Give your critics shelter in your courtyard and listen to the criticism without annoyance, because critic is not your enemy, he is helping you to clean the rubbish from your life without soap and water.

~~ Kabir
