| If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." ~The 14th Dalai Lama Silence is a great help to a seeker after truth. In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth, and the soul requires inward restfulness to attain its full height. ~Mohandas K Gandhi Should you shield the valleys from the windstorms, you would never see the beauty of their canyons. ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. ~Albert Einstein |
| First there must be order and harmony within your own mind. Then this order will spread to your family, then to the community, and finally to your entire kingdom. Only then can you have peace and harmony. ~Confucius "I could give you no advice but this: to go into yourself and to explore the depths where your life wells forth." ~Rainer Maria Rilke - Letters to a Young Poet "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." ~Carl Jung |
| Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity. -Sivananda It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening. – H.G. Wells Space. The continual becoming: invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and to which they must pass. Beyond time or infinity.- Frank Lloyd Wright |
| Seek the Infinite, for that alone is Joy unlimited, imperishable, unfailing, self-sustaining, unconditioned, timeless. When you have this joy, human life becomes a paradise; the light, the grace, the power, the perfections of that which is highest in your inner consciousness, appear in your everyday life. – Swami Omkarananda Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary, for it connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness. Deepak Chopra Just by being ourselves we are borne toward a destiny far beyond anything we could imagine. It is enough to know that the being I nourish inside me is the same as the Being that suffuses every atom of the cosmos. Deepak Chopra |
| If you look for the truth outside yourself, It gets farther and farther away. Today walking alone, I meet it everywhere I step. It is the same as me, yet I am not it. Only if you understand it in this way will you merge with the way things are. ~ Tung-Shan Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. ~ Buddha (B.C. 568-488) Our original nature is, in highest truth, devoid of any atom of objectivity. It is void, omnipresent, silent, pure; it is glorious and mysterious peaceful joy ~ and that is all. Enter deeply into it by awakening yourself. ~ Huang Po |
