✨ Shri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ✨

  “May that Lord who is known as the son of Srimati Sacidevi be transcendentally situated in the innermost core of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has descended in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most elevated mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love.”-Chaitanya-charitamrta

Yoga Vasistha

Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun

“The truly wise are meek. Yet being small and meek do not make one weak. Arming oneself with true knowledge generates strong confidence and a bold spirit that makes you a lion of the Universe.

The Creator does not want you to suffer, yet we are being conditioned by society to accept suffering, weak and passive dispositions under the belief that such conditions are favorable. Weakness is not a virtue praised. How could Creation desire for you to be weak if it tells us to stand by our conscience? Doing so requires strength.

However, there is a difference between arrogance when inflating your ego, and confidence when one truly gets closer to the Source. One feels large, while the other feels small. Why?

Because a man of wisdom understands that he is just a small pea in a sea of infinite atoms, and that in the end — we are all connected. And did you not know that the smaller a creature is, the bolder its spirit?”

NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ

“Cannot you see clearly that everything that appears to happen happens in consciousness? It is all imaginary, a temporary hallucination. Don’t be led astray, none of it reflects your true state.”

Alan Watts

The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.

Theosophy

Theosophy teaches – that the Universe is a cyclic and periodical manifestation. It comes forth into existence from the Divine Principle by means of evolution (not creation) and remains and evolves over an incredibly lengthy period of time. Then it gradually disintegrates and disappears, everything being reabsorbed into Brahman. Eventually, after the same duration of time for which it had existed, it is reborn, on a higher level than before

.

Theosophy teaches – that the Universe and everything in it is in the constant process of evolution. The evolution of matter and of objective forms is undeniable but the most important aspect of evolution is the evolution and gradual unfoldment, advancement, and development of the unseen inner entities (or souls) through those material/objective forms and bodies. Man descended as a “Divine Spark” into matter and has worked his way up into the human kingdom by passing through the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms in long ages past. Now he is evolving back up towards the consciousness of his true spiritual nature.

Rumi

This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.

This freedom is worth more than all the lands on earth.

To be one with the truth for just a moment,

Is worth more than the world and life itself.

~ from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

When the body and mind grow weak, the Self gathers in all the powers of life and descends with them into the heart. As prana leaves the eye, it ceases to see. "He is becoming one," say the wise; "he does not see. He is becoming one; he no longer hears. He is becoming one; he no longer speaks, or tastes, or smells, or thinks, or knows." By the light of the heart the Self leaves the body by one of its gates; and when he leaves, prana follows, and with it all the vital powers of the body. He who is dying merges in consciousness, and thus consciousness accompanies him when he departs, along with the impressions of all that he has done, experienced, and known. 

Thoth-the-Atlantean — The Emerald Tablets

“I began preaching to people the beauty of religion and knowledge.

“O people, men born on the Earth, who indulge in drunkenness, sleep, and the ignorance of God! Sober up, cease your surfeit, awake from your dullness!

“Why do you give up yourselves to death while you have power to partake of immortality?

“Depart from the dark path, be partakers of immortality, abandon forever your vices!

“Nowhere but in God can you find good!”

(From Hermes’* address to the Egyptians)

God is the Flame Creator!

Svetlana Eryomina

God has created everything! He is the Flame Creator! He breathed life in His Creation! And It started, it came to life, And all became at His command! It was born, developed and grew, And multiplied more and more, And stood still trembling in His Hands, Obedient to Will invisible. “But where to find Him — the Creator of all this?” “To Him is a door! It is “In the depths of your heart developed! “Open it — and the Aim will be visible! “With hands, created of love, “To the Creator of all — you gently touch, “In Him fully immerse yourself — and… dissolve! “Then out of His Love — look at the world! “With Light, and Tenderness, and Fire Glow “Love for Creation you fully manifest! “All living — caress, love! “Live so — in God’s Love!”
