Sri Rama

 If you constantly think of the Atman, your mind will be purified and your ignorance will be uprooted along with the past tendencies, just as your ailments will completely disappear by your taking medicine daily. When the mind is pure, you will get unalloyed bliss.




“Fairyland Fancies”

 “When ceasing mind’s belief in ‘the story‘ of oneself’ - self identity of the finite self of time, slowly melts back into Timeless Awareness.”



Maurice Bucke from the book "Cosmic Conscioness"



And to these (the enlightened) it is entirely clear that this Divinity, being eternal, all existence must be eternal, because all Truth is simply the Truth of existence. To these existence is one eternal immensity of infinite existence, acting with infinite force, in an inevitable, infinite, therefore absolutely perfect order, in whose perfection, or truth, all things and their action must of necessity be included, and this Paul expressed in the one comprehensive, basic sentence, "All things are of the Divinity"




Joseph Campbell


Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.









Shiva



There is an esoteric and close analogy between the purifying Ganges, which circulates in the universe like the blood in our bodies, and Shiva, who like the heart, is motionless in rhythm, invoking and directing life-giving and purifying energy in the universe and in humanity. The real place of purification for the disciple is the heart; it is in the heart that the personality and the fruits of action are consumed, and all that is left is the Divine Spark, the Will of God: ATMA.

The posture of the dancing Shiva, Nataraja, suggests the shape of the sign OM, in the head, hands and raised foot. The appearance of this god resounds the wonder of existence ~ the seed sound, the energy sound, and the essence of all being.



The Spiritual Mind



"The life is not in believing there is a divinity somewhere, but in knowing it.* To know the Word of the Truth, and to have its spirit generated in the mind and heart,"


Swedenborg. 1688–1772



"God in himself is infinite love—that his manifestation, form or body is infinite wisdom—that divine love is the self-subsisting life of the universe"



RAMANA MAHARISHI

 


DEVI

 Glory to Thee, Devi, the Formless form, the form of the three worlds, cognizable only by pure Consciousness, Controlling infinitely being and non-being!
