Shankaracharya

 

This world is the creation of the mind. Once the mind becomes mindless, there is no world. There is only heaven.

katha Upanishad

 

To very few is it given to hear about the Atma Many more who hear of the Atma, do not understand. Wonderful is the person who speaks of it. Intelligent is the person who learns of it. Most blessed is he who hears it from a knowing teacher and understands it.

TAPAS

 

"I am immanent in every being. People forget Me, who is within and without them; I am the inner core of every being, but, they are not aware of this. So, they are tempted to believe the objective world to be real and true, and they pursue objective pleasures and fall into grief and pain. On the other hand, if they concentrate all attention on Me alone, believing that the Lord has willed everything and everyone, I bless them and reveal to them the Truth that they are I and I am they. Thousands have been blessed thus. They are the seekers, the aspirants, the Mahatmas, the Sages, the Divinely Inspired, the Manifestations of the Divine, the Guides who show the path. They have acquired the experience that Truth is Dharma (sacred duty)."

Swetasvatara Upanishad

 

"Thou art the Primal Being. Thou appearest as this universe Of illusion and dream. Thou art beyond time. Indivisible, infinite, the Adorable One. Let a man meditate on thee Within his heart. Let him consecrate himself to thee, And thou, infinite Lord, Wilt make thyself known to him."

Bhagavad Gita

 

When goodness grows weak, When evil increases, I make myself a body.

In every age I come back To deliver the holy, To destroy the sin of the sinner To establish righteousness

Nityananda

 

"Once one is established in infinite consciousness, one becomes silent and though knowing everything, goes about as if he does not know anything

Though he might be doing a lot of things in several places, to all outward appearances, he will remain as if he does nothing."

Nityananda

 

"one must seek the shortest way and the fastest means to get back home - to turn the spark within into a blaze, to be merged in and to identify with that greater fire which ignited the spark"    

 

BUDDHA

 

"Let all beings attain happiness". To kill so that you may live longer and with fuller joy is a reprehensible act, Buddha declared. You have to sacrifice, not a bleating sheep, but your own animality, the bestial lust and greed, hate and malice. Sacrifice these and you earn the heaven of unflinching peace.”

GABRbrielle Roth

 

“Energy moves in waves, Waves move in patterns, Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that; energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.”

 

LEONARDO DA VINCI

 

“Among the great things which are to be found among us, the being of nothingness is the greatest.
