❝When I went out searching for the wicked, I found none, When I searched my own heart, worse than me there was none. As long as we seek fault in others so near, We fail to see our own flaws crystal clear.❞
Kabir Das was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement and Sikhism. He composed in simple Hindi-Braj Bhasha, making his wisdom accessible to all. His dohe (couplets) are timeless gems of wisdom.

❝I went out searching for the wicked one, But no one wicked did I find to shun. When I searched deep within my heart instead, I found none worse than me, as the light spread.❞
❝Do tomorrow's work today, today's work now, For the moment may end — then when and how? Delay not what must be done, for time won't wait, The moment fleets away — act before it's late.❞
❝Speak such words, losing your ego's pride, That cool the others' hearts alongside, And in the speaking cool your own heart too — Let gentle speech be all that flows from you.❞
