“Remember to worship yourself, to love yourself, to pray to yourself because God dwells in you as you.”

Rumi

Don’t be fooled by my beauty The light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.

Aurobindo

 "I seek not science, not religion, not Theosophy, but Veda — the truth about Brahman, not only about His essentiality, but about His manifestation, not a lamp on the way to the forest, but a light and a guide to joy and action in the world, the truth which is beyond opinion,"

Ramana Maharshi

 

That inner Self, as the primeval Spirit,Eternal, ever effulgent, full and infinite Bliss,Single, indivisible, whole and living,Shines in everyone as the witnessing awareness.That self in its splendour, shining in the cavity of the heartThis self is neither born nor dies,Neither grows nor decays,Nor does it suffer any change.When a pot is broken, the space within it is not,And similarly, when the body dies the Self in it remains eternal.”

Nature of the Divine

God cannot be identified with one Name and one Form. He is all Names and all Forms. All Names are His; all Forms are His. Your Names too are His, you are His Forms. You appear as separate individual bodies because the eye that sees them seeks only bodies, the outer encasements. When you clarify your Vision and look at them through the Atmic eye, the eye that penetrates behind the physical (with all its attributes and appurtenances), then you will see others as Waves on the Ocean of the Absolute, as the "thousand heads, the thousand eyes, thousand feet of the Supreme Soverign person or 'Purusha' sung in the Rgveda. Strive to win that Vision and to saturate yourself with that Bliss.

J.R.R. Tolkien

“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.”

Geoffrey D. Falk

 

We are individualized waves of consciousness on the Infinite Ocean of Spirit; so say the sages. But, although the Ocean has become the wave, and the wave, when it dissolves the illusion of ego-separation and limitation, realizes that it has always been one with the Infinite Ocean, the form-bound wave itself is not the Ocean.  Nor is the Ocean merely the sum of its waves -- the Ocean can exist without the waves, but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean. Everything you can see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and much more, is part of this Ocean.  For all matter, energy and consciousness is

merely waves of certain rates of vibration on the surface of the Ocean of Consciousness; Spirit has become, and is present in and as, every created thing.  That is, consciousness is the "water" of the Infinite Ocean of Spirit, and all phenomena arise as modifications of this one stuff, or ripples on/of this Ocean of cosmic consciousness.

Katha Upanishad 1.3

 

The self) without sound, without touch and without form, undecaying, is likewise, without taste, eternal, without smell, without beginning, without end, beyond the great, abiding, by discerning that, one is freed from the face of death.

Sri Aurobindo

 

The Shastras use the same word for man and the one divine and universal Being — Purusha — as if to lay stress upon the oneness of humanity with God. Nara and Narayana are the eternal couple, who, though they are two, are one, eternally different, eternally the same. 

M. Scott Peck

 

The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.
