You are the sole companion of my heart, though my body is available for those who wish its company. This body is hospitable to its guests; the love of my heart is the guest of my soul.
- Rabi'a, "Rabia the Mystic"
Domestic life is rightly called virtue. The monastic path, rightly lived beyond blame, is likewise good. He who rightly pursues the householder's life here on Earth will be rightfully placed among the Gods there in Heaven.
- Tirukkural 5:49-50
When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.
- Albert Einstein
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
- Confucius
When we are devoted to the development of kindness it becomes a movement of the heart so deep and subtle it is like a movement of the sea close to the ocean floor, all but hidden, yet affecting absolutely everything that happens above. That's the force of kindness.
- Sharon Salzberg
Lord, the night is gone. The dawn has lighted the sky. How I long to know if You accepted or rejected my prayers. Comfort me, Lord, for only you can comfort this state of mine. You gave me life and nurtured me; Yours is all the praise. If You would ever drive me away from Your door, I would never abandon it for the sake of Your love, which I carry in my heart.
- Rabi'a, "Rabi'a the Mystic"
Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.
- Aldous Huxley
Zen meditation is not physical culture, nor is it a method to gain something material. It is peacefulness and blessedness itself. It is the actualization of truth and wisdom.
- The Practice of Meditation, Zen Master Dogen
She took to telling the truth; she said she was forty-two and five months. It may have been pleasing to the angels, but her elder sister was not gratified.
- Saki (H.H. Munro)
We confuse attachment with love. Attachment is concerned with my needs, my happiness, while love is an unselfish attitude, concerned with the needs and happiness of others.... A relationship free of unrealistic grasping is free of disappointment, conflict, jealousy, and other problems, and is fertile ground for the growth of love and wisdom.
- Kathleen McDonald, "How to Meditate"
