Synthia Andrews


We are all in this together, and in the transition underway, none of us makes it unless all of us do. Enjoy life, enjoy this process of expansion, and choose love. Move beyond the polarity of good and bad, and of us and them, into singularity. Follow your heart and engage the path of energy




Sogyal Rinpoche


Our society is dedicated almost entirely to the celebration of ego, with all its sad fantasies about success and power, and it celebrates those very forces of greed and ignorance that are destroying the planet.





RAM DASS


The intellect should be the servant of the heart, but just because the heart should be the master dose not mean the intellect should not be used. A courageous heart requires an intellect capable of fighting its master’s battles.

The heart craves truth. The heart craves justice. The heart craves compassion and aid for the victims of cruelty and oppression. In a world such as ours, the heart needs a warrior intellect strong enough to fight the greedy oligarchs, the powerful forces of the secret intelligence services, the warmongers, propagandists and brutal cops, etc.




Fyodor Dostoevsky


Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand of it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.




Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi


"Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything."




Yoga Vasishta Sara Chapter 2, verses 5 - 11


This long-living ghost of a samsara which is the creation of the deluded mind of man and the cause of his sufferings disappears when one ponders over it.

O Rama, maya is such that it brings delight through its own destruction; its nature is inscrutable; it ceases to exist even while it is being observed.

Dear boy, wonderful indeed is the maya which deludes the entire world. It is on account of it that that the Self is not perceived even though it pervades all the limbs of the body.

Whatever is seen does not truly exist. It is like the mythical city of Gandharvas (fata margin) or a mirage.

That which is not seen, though within us, is called the eternal and indestructible self.

Just as the trees on the bank of a lake are reflected in the water, so also all these varied objects are reflected in the vast mirror of our consciousness.




NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ


Actions through the four elements (earth, water, fire, wind) do not affect the fifth, i.e. space. I am pure consciousness, pure life force. I’ve no shape, no form. Therefore, I have no birth, no death and no karma





YOGANANDA

 


SWAMI VEETAMOHANANDA’S Pearl of the Day


Human excellence depends on the growth of the human spirit, a rich quality of life. Courage and conviction in the heart are the true signs of human excellence. The fusion of the energy of manliness with spiritual energy has a tremendous power of impact on the world situation. Peace, happiness and a sense of fulfilment comes from the fusion of the material forces with spiritual forces.




Baba Faqir Chand


I am a bubble of Super-most consciousness. That is what my realization is. This is what I have gained. Now what I feel is that there is One, Infinite, Super-most Element. From IT, when it moves, Sound and Light come out and from that Light and Sound this creation takes place. Cosmic rays and many other types of rays come out of this Light and Sound and all this gross matter is made. So it is the Will of that Supreme Power. Everything is oozing out of IT and is merging back in IT.
