Tuesday, June 1, 1999

All the Things in this universe, men, and materials,

all nature and its different phenomena, are simply bewildering.

We cannot make out what they are.

The reality behind them, the secret of secrets

is quite hidden to our view and, as it were, hermetically sealed.

~ The Shivapuri Baba

Thursday, June 3, 1999

Confucius said, The superior man goes through his life
without any one preconceived course of action or any taboo.
He merely decides for the moment what is the right thing to do.

Wednesday, June 2, 1999

We are living in a very exciting and powerful time.
On the deepest level of consciousness,
a radical spiritual transformation is taking place.
I believe that on a worldwide level, we are being challenged
to let go of our present way of life and create an entirely new one.
We are, in fact, in the process of destroying our old world
and building a new one in its place.

~ Shakti Gawain

Friday, June 4, 1999

There is pleasure
And there is bliss.
Forgo the first to possess the second.

If you are happy
At the expense of another man’s happiness,
You are forever bound.

You do not what you should.
You do what you should not.
You are reckless, and desire grows.

But the master is wakeful.
He watches his body.
In all his actions, he discriminates,
And he becomes pure.

~ Buddha

Humility , unostentatiousness, non-injuring, forgiveness,
simplicity, purity, steadfastness, Self-control;
this is declared to be wisdom;
What is opposed to this is ignorance.

~ Bhagavad Gita

Sunday, June 6, 1999

Spirituality lies in regarding existence
merely as a vehicle for contemplation,
and contemplation merely a vehicle for joy.

All beings are seeking happiness.
It is the purpose of life.

~ Dalai Lama

Tuesday, June 8, 1999

The greatest fault of the day is the absence of stillness.
Stillness is nowadays often taken as leisureliness or as slowness.
Modern man lacks concentration
and carries with him an atmosphere of restlessness;
with all his knowledge and progress he feels uncomfortable
and unintentionally brings discomfort to others.
Stillness is therefore the most important lesson
that can be taught to the youth of today.

~ Hazrat Inayat Kahn

Wednesday, June 9, 1999

Look within.
Within you is the hidden God.
Within you is the immortal soul.
Within you is the inexhaustible spiritual treasure.
Within you is the ocean of bliss.
Look within for the happiness which you have sought in vain.

~ Swami Sivananda

Thursday, June 10, 1999

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky;
So was it when my life began;
So it is now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

~ William Wordsworth

Friday, June 11, 1999

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

Saturday, June 12, 1999

"Out beyond all right-doing and wrong-doing
there is a field.
I'll meet you there."

~ Rumi

I am certain of nothing

but of the holiness of the heart’s affections,

and the truth of the Imagination.

~ John Keats (1795-1821)

Monday, June 14, 1999

Meditation is the sense of total comprehension of the whole of life,
And from that there is right action.
Meditation is absolute silence of the mind…
Only in that total, complete, unadulterated silence
is that which is truth.

~ Jiddhu Krishnamurti

Wednesday, June 16, 1999 The universe is a medium in which evolvement can take place. It is a school where people will eventually develop into the image and likeness of God. It will exist as long as a school is needed. Only in earth life can certain lessons be learned. ~ Peace Pilgrim

Life is a gift from God,
an unlimited series of opportunities
to find the good in ourselves and others.
There is good in everything,
if we are willing to see it.

Without that, both youth and old age are painful.

a temporary spiritual experience is ever likely to forget it.
His days will be haunted until he sets out to seek
ways and means of repeating it. ~ Paul Brunton

Wednesday, June 30, 1999 Grace is not something special. It is really universal. It is the only power for good there is, and all alike participate in its goodness. But the ego interferes and discounts its work. ~ Lackshmana Sarma
