Do not treat people with contempt, nor walk insolently on the earth. Allah does not love the arrogant or the self-conceited boaster. Be modest in your bearing and subdue your voice, for the most unpleasant of voices is the braying of the ass.
- Luqman 31:18-19
Arjuna: O Krishna, you have said that knowledge is greater than action; why then do you ask me to wage this terrible war? Your advice seems inconsistent. Give me one path to follow to the supreme god. Sri Krishna: At the beginning of time I declared two paths for the pure heart; jnana yoga, the contemplative path of spiritual wisdom, and karma yoga, the active path of selfless service.
- Bhagavad Gita 3:1-3
When you resolve to become pious, the devil in your nature cries out at you, "Tread not those paths, O confused one; distress and poverty will overcome you. You will be despised, let down by friends, you will regret it." Dread of the devil has bound their souls; the cries of the devil are the drover of the damned; the call of the Lord is a guardian of the saints.
- Rumi, "Mathnawi"
If you think you are free, You are free. If you think you are bound, You are bound. For the saying is true: You are what you think.
- Ashtavakra Gita 1:11
Take care of your feet and they’ll take care of you.
- Maggie Spilner
Come against your will is the toggle of the intelligent; come willingly is the spring-time of those who have lost their hearts.
- Mathnawi [III, 4472]
Because of your humility God granted you the gift of insight. Go toward the peach tree, which has sprung to life. It has become lush green by the command "Be!" Beneath its shade all your needs will be fulfilled. Such is divine alchemy that the crooked become straight. As God revealed, "Its roots are firm in the earth, its branches in the sky."
- Rumi, "Mathnawi"
I made peace with all the people in the world, resolving never to wage war on anyone, and I waged war against my self and have never since made peace with it.
- Kharaqani in Attar: Tadhkirat
Hundreds of thousands of inner eyes were opened and through Your breath made ready to reflect upon the unseen.
The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it.
Although the limitations of the world disappear for one who knows the Self, they are not destroyed, because they continue to exist for others.
The heart's recollection is the summons of the spirit-bird to divine attraction, just as the huntsman whistles to the ravenous prey he pursues with sounds which promise it food. Any remembrance of God that lacks such a summons has no value, and is deprived of any trace of divine recognition.
- Najm Al-Din Kubra: "Al-'usul al-'asharat"
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
- Frank Lloyd Wright
A single day is enough to make us a little larger.
- Paul Klee
