The only transformer and alchemist that turns everything into gold is love

Buddha, Sutra of 42 Chapters

 "...desire and lust are what make people foolish and deluded... Those who harbor desire and lust cannot see the Way. When our hands disturb clear water, none who gather beside it can see their reflections. Similarly, when people are aroused by desires, their minds are so muddled they cannot see the Way. You shramanas should renounce desire. When desire and lust are purged, the Way will manifest itself... How dare one be reckless and indulge in passion and lust! Although they are as dangerous as the tiger’s jaws, people yield willingly, throwing themselves into the mire and drown. That is why they are called ordinary beings. Those who break free from this prison can transcend all defilements to become arhats.”” 

Jiddu Krishnamurti

 Reality is not to be found through any path; it is to be found through the uncharted sea of self-knowledge; the immeasurable is not to be measured by the path of the known." 

Shine Your light

The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not.

Henry Chang

 “The intersection of the macro universe and the micro universe will create a gate, or a door. Lao Tzu called this “the door to all wonders.” This is where yin and yang merge harmoniously. This is also called the Middle Way.”

Paramhansa Yogananda

 "The kingdom of God is not in the clouds, in some designated point of space; it is right behind the darkness that you perceive with closed eyes." "Feel that, just behind the screen of your devotional demands, God is listening to the silent words of your soul."

A version of the parable also appears in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas (Saying 76):[2]

Jesus said, "The Father's kingdom is like a merchant who had a supply of merchandise and found a pearl. That merchant was prudent; he sold the merchandise and bought the single pearl for himself. So also with you, seek his treasure that is unfailing, that is enduring, where no moth comes to eat and no worm destroys."

Symbolic Effervescence of Goddess Kali by k. Nagori

~ Kali’s aura and theme resonates with the concepts of rebirth, cycles, joy, courage, hope, cleansing and change. She is symbolically represented by flowers, dance, iron, swords, peacock feathers and honey. Kali, a Hindu Goddess whose name means ‘time’, She is the embodiment of natural forces that either build or destroy. She is destructive of ignorance, dispelling negativity, however, She reminds us that good really can come of bad situations. Where there is sorrow, She dances to bring joy. Where there is fear, She dances propagating courage.

Goddess Kali is equated with the eternal night, is the transcendent power of time, and is the consort of the god Shiva. It is said that its Shiva who destroys the world, and Kali is the power or energy with which Shiva acts. Therefore, Kali is Shiva’s Shakti, without which Shiva could not act. Of all the forms of Devi, She is the most compassionate because She provides moksha or liberation to Her children.

 All Matter is Nothing but energy

Dynamism is the great law of the universe. Change and movement occur eternally, symbolized by Shiva’s Dance. The recurring theme in Hindu mythology is the creation of the world by the self-sacrifice of God - “sacrifice” in the original sense of “making sacred” - whereby God becomes the world. Lila, the play of God, is the creative activity of the Divine; and the world is the stage of the Divine play. Brahman is the great magician Who transforms Himself into the world and He performs this feat with His “magic creative power”, which is the original meaning of maya in the Rig Veda.

BY GONGA

 If world peace is to dawn,,,,  it must begin with the individual. The great masters of India have preserved for us the keys to developing our consciousness to its fullest potential. Mankind possesses many latent abilities that today lay dormant within us all. Most of the problems facing modern society are the direct result of humans operating with a fraction of their full potential. The need of our time is to increase the intelligence, awareness and wisdom of the individuals who make up society. The golden age will dawn when the best of the West is combined with the best of the East, when modern science is combined with the ancient wisdom of the evolution of human consciousness.
