ما دام الإنسانُ يقلقُ من موعد موته، ومن امتلاكه لما يُعدّ ملكًا له، فكلُّ أعماله صفر. وإذا ماتت محبّةُ الأنا وما تملك، انتهى عملُ المعلّم.

“As long as a human being worries about when he will die, and what he has that is his, all of his works are zero. When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead, then the work of the Teacher is over.”Kabir — The Kabir book: forty-four of the ecstatic poems of Kabir (1977)
