When from ignorance You see silver in mother-of-pearl, Greed arises. From ignorance of the Self Desire arises For the world where the senses whirl.
- Ashtavakra Gita 3:2
Wherever the delusion of your selfhood appears there's hell. Wherever "you" aren't that's heaven.
- Abu Sa'id in Ibn Munawwar, "Asrar at-tawhid"
There are chemists who spend their whole lives trying to find out whats in a lump of sugar. I want to know one thing. What is color?
- Pablo Picasso
How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.
- G. Elliston
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
- Ramakrishna
In the valley, on the mountain, I beheld only God. In hardship I saw Him by my side. In ease and well-being I beheld only God. Like a candle I melted in His flame. Amid the sparks of the flames, I beheld only God.
- Baba Kuhi of Shiraz, "Rabi'a the Mystic"
Humor is not a postscript or an incidental afterthought; it is a serious and weighty part of the world's economy. One feels increasingly the height of the faculty in which it arises, the nobility of things associated with it, and the greatness of services it renders.
- Oscar W. Firkins
We all need a little more courage now and then. Thats what I need. If you have some to share, I want to know you. Your criticisms you can keep to yourselves.
- Marvin Bell
How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
- William Shakespeare
Renewing peace between two aggrieved parties surpasses ritual praying, fasting, and almsgiving.
- The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Abu Darda'a
Peaceful be heaven, peaceful the earth, peaceful the broad space between. Peaceful for us be the running waters, peaceful the plants and herbs! Peaceful to us be the signs of the future, peaceful what is done and undone, peaceful to us be what is and what will be. May all to us be gracious!
- Atharva Veda 19.9
