[b]Few spiritual quotes.
Hypocritical, proud, and arrogant, living in delusion and clinging to deluded ideas, insatiable in their desires, they pursue their unclean ends. Although burdened with fears that end only with death, they still maintain with complete assurance, "Gratification of lust is the highest that life can offer."
-Bhagavad Gita 16:10-11
Excerpted from The Bhagavad Gita, translated by Eknath Easwaran
The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.
In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, watch the timing.
Tao Te Ching ~
(Translation by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English)
" true understanding is possible only when we are fully conscious of our thought, not as an operative observer on this thought, but completely and without the intervention of a choice. "
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Let the one great aim and ideal be to lift up and universalize our affection, so that while it is as deep and intimate as though it has but one object, yet it is ready to be centered on any person,
to flow to any point of need.
N. Sri Ram, Thoughts for Aspirants, love
Once Yunmen said to the assembly:
"Medicine and disease cure each other. The entire earth is medicine. What is the self?"
(Essential Zen) [more Buddhism]
All wisdom can be stated in two lines:
What is done for you - allow it to be done.
What you must do yourself - make sure you do it.
Khawwas (Essential Sufism)
Pray for what you want,
but work for the things you need.
Modern Traditional (Essential Sufism)
IF words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart, but if they come from the tongue, they will not pass beyond the ears.
Al-Suhrawardi (Essential Sufism)
Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possiblity.
- Oprah Winfrey
Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.
