Salma Hayek

 You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.

Khalil Gibran

 Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?

Hazrat Inayat Khan

 

The solution to the problem of the day is the awakening of the consciousness of humanity to the divinity within.

Maria Erving

Awakening means you've come home to yourself, that consciousness shifted back to its original nature.

Rumi

 

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you?

"Mechthild "

 

The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw all things in God and God in all things.

Eckhart Tolle

 

For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.

A joy with a cause is more like dependence or uncertainty. It is bound to vanish. Luckily, we can enjoy The Causeless Joy which is eternally present. The Causeless Joy is the Perfect Joy and is the Nature of God or Self. God is ever joyous without a cause, such is His essence - Joyful. Peace and Joy are one and the same and never leave Home. To be absolutely quiet in heart, body and mind is to partake in this Causeless Bliss. It will exist eternally and is the Joy enjoyed forever. Even if you do not notice it, you are now enjoying it, perhaps covered by layers of illusion. Still IT is there, for sure. Bliss is not a feeling, it is the Ineffable BEING of the Almighty Supreme which is Now and Here. To become blissful is to become miserable later. That which IS Bliss has no opposite. Very simple, but True.

Chidananda, Divine Life Society

 

“Far from denying self-expression, [brahmacharya] is giving full expression to yourself because you are no longer identified with the lesser aspect of your total personality. You are identified with the higher aspect. It is a sort of a liberation and evolution to a higher level.”

Swami Sivananda

 

“Brahmacharya is the basis for morality. It is the basis for eternal life. It is a spring flower that exhales immortality from its petals.”
