“If you see with innocent eyes, everything is divine.”

Shunryu Suzuki
“True nature is watching water.. Nothing exists but momentarily in its present form and colour. One thing flows into another and cannot be grasped. The true purpose is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. Zen practice is to open up our small mind. So concentrating is just an aid to help you realize ‘Big Mind’, or the Mind that is everything. That everything is included within your mind is the essence of Mind. Even though waves arise the essence of your mind is pure.”
Marcel Proust
Do not wait for life. Do not long for it. Be aware, always and at every moment, that the miracle is in the here and now.
Bowl of Saki, March 31, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Even to utter the name of God is a
blessing that can fill the soul with light and joy and happiness as nothing
else can do.

“Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the centre of the world.”
Rupert Spira
To say 'I am God' does indeed sound arrogant. It feels like blasphemy.
But in fact, blasphemy is not to say 'I am God'. Really blasphemous is to say 'I am a person'. Because in saying 'I am a person', I'm saying that I am a being with my own independent existence. I'm saying that my Being is separate from God's Being. And if my Being is separate from God's Being, then God's Being must be limited. In other words, to say 'I am a person' is to deny the (omni) presence of God. That is blasphemy. If we are setting ourselves up as a separate, temporary, finite being, we are denying the infinite Being. That's why it's not arrogant to say 'I am God.' To say 'I am a person' - that is arrogant.
- Ram Dass
This is the pathless path. Where the journey leads is to the deepest truth in you. It is really just returning to where you were initially before you got lost.
Rumi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Just Be: Unknown
“The Love you're dreaming of, is being dreamt by the Love that You are.
Seeking it outside of Yourself, obscures the true Love that You are.
Let the mind fade Inwardly and diminish in Your aware Presence.
Be fully that thought free Silence from which seeking arises.
Nowhere to go.
Nothing to lose.
Nothing to find.
Just Be.”
Rest in The Present Moment - Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heart:
‘When we let go of our battles and open our heart to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and end of spiritual practice. Only in this moment can we discover that which is timeless. Only here can we find the love that we seek. Love in the past is simply memory, and love in the future is fantasy. Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.’
Alan Watts
“You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.”

Symbolism is the language of the mysteries. By symbols men have ever sought to communicate to each other those thoughts which transcend the limitations of language.
Hindu creation one theory
Most Hindu creation accounts articulate a fundamental nondualism, wherein the material world-which is either fully divine or is, at least, infused with divinity-emanates from (as opposed to being created by) the principal deity.
The Jain moralists say:—
"Wisdom is an attribute of man. Wisdom only can lead to salvation, or enable man to sail safely over the solemn main of life. Wisdom only can dispel the gloom of false knowledge, like mists after sun-rise. Wisdom only can absolve man from the consequences of action. Wisdom is Supreme; and no action can equal wisdom. Wisdom is joy. Wisdom is summum bonum. Wisdom is Brahma himself."
Paul Brunton
Jesus said, “Except ye become as little children ye cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven.” What did he mean? Consider the minds of children in whom the ego is but little developed. How egoless they are. How spontaneous and immediate is their knowledge of the world around them.

Eckhart Tolle
“The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it at all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life. The more consciousness you direct into the inner body, the higher its vibrational frequency becomes, and so increase the flow of electricity. At this higher energy level, negativity cannot affect you anymore.”
Until the heart is empty, it cannot receive the knowledge of God.
by Hazrat
Inayat Khan:
When a person comes to take
a lesson on any subject, and he brings his own knowledge with him, the teacher
has little to teach him, for the doors of his heart are not open. His heart
that should be empty in order to receive knowledge is occupied by the knowledge
that he already had acquired.

Rabindranath Tagore
Love is the ultimate meaning of everything around us. It is not a mere sentiment. It is truth, it is the joy that is the root of all creation.
The Law of Destruction.
Everything must be destroyed in order to be reborn and regenerated. Because what you call destruction is nothing but a transformation, which aims at the renewal and improvement of living beings.
Allan Kardec, The Spirits' Book,
Rumi
On the path of love, we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.

A real seeker of truth is only interested in the truth. Not in situations, experiences, what happens to the world, but is only interested in the truth.
“This moment is love. I am loving awareness.” - Ram Dass
“This moment is love. I am loving awareness.” -
Sivananda Saraswati
Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly. God is all-full. He is self-contained. He is eternal satisfaction
Mooji
The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.”
-Adyashanti
Silence reveals itself only to itself. Only when we enter as nothing and stay as nothing, will silence open its secret
Bowl of Saki, March 26, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Mankind is closer to God than the fishes
are to the ocean.
(Katha-Upanishad)
Death said: 'God made sense turn outward, man therefore looks outward, not into himself. Now and again a daring soul, desiring immortality, has looked back and found himself. T h e ignorant man runs after pleasure, sinks into the entanglements of death; but the wise man, seeking the undying, does not run among things that die. 'He through whom we see, taste, smell, feel, hear, enjoy, knows everything. He is that Self. 'The wise man by meditating upon the self-dependent, all-pervading Self, understands waking and sleeping and goes beyond sorrow.

Rumi
In the silence between your heartbeat bides a summons. Do you hear it? Name it if you must, or leave it forever nameless, but why pretend it is not there?
Gérard de Nerval
“Everything is alive, everything is in motion, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays that emanate from me or from others flow directly through the infinite chain of creation whose transparent network is in continuous communication with the planets and the stars.
Paul Brunton
The divine presence is dwelling at the core of his/her mind, then the divine bliss, peace, and strength are dwelling at the core of his/her mind too. Why then should he/she let outward troubles rob him of the chance to share them?
Bowl of Saki, March 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
The one who is filled with the knowledge
of names and forms has no capacity for the knowledge of God.
Paul Bruntton
All things and beings flow forth from the illimitable Power, all derive their consciousness from It. Nor may we stop with this acknowledgment. For they derive whatsoever they have of intelligence from It, too. Is it not a grand thought, full of promise and hope, that in the gradual progression of this intelligence from minute cells to celestial beings, it passes upward through man, enabling him in time to attain and know his own Divinity?

Buddha
" Even if the whole Himalaya mountain were turned into gold, it would still not be able to sarisfy the desires of just one person. Human desires are limitless. Knowing this, you should have peace of mind. "
isfy the desires of just one person. Human desires are limitless. Knowing this, you should have peace of mind. "
