TULSIDAS

 

ALL THE SLEEPERS IN A NIGHT OF DELUTION BEHOLDING SO MANY DREAMS. IN THIS WORLD OF DARKNESS, ONLY THOSE WHO SEVER THEMSELVES FROM THE MATERIAL WORLD, BECOME ABSORBED IN THE CONTEMPLATION OF THE SUPREME. NONE CAN BE REGARDED AS REALLY WOKEN UP FROM SLEEP TILL THEY HAVE RENOUNCED ALL SENSUOUS DELIGHTS.

                                                                 

ASHTAVAKRA GITA1:13 & 1:14

 

BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD

 

"All the joys of the entire cosmos put together would be only a small drop of the bliss of the Supreme Being. Whatever little satisfaction we have, whatever pleasures we have, whatever joys we are experiencing, whatever be the happiness of life - all this is but a reflection, a fractional distorted form, a drop, as it were, from this ocean of the Absolute." 

                                                               

A PARENTHESIS IN ETERNITY. LIVING THE MYSTICAL LIFE: JOEL S. GOLDSMITH

 

"There must be a turning; there must be an inner transformation. This has nothing to do with our outer life. The change takes place within us. The whole experience is an inner experience; it is one of consciousness, but when it takes place, it affects our entire outer experience.

                                                 

CHOGYAM TRUNGPA, CUTTING THROUGH SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM

**‘Love in not the experience of beauty and romantic joy alone. Love or compassion, the open path, is associated with “what is.” In order to develop love - universal love, cosmic love, whatever you would like to call it - one must accept the whole situation of life as it is, both the light and the dark, the good and the bad. One must open oneself to life, communicate with it.’Accepting Life As It Is **

                                                             

Dean Jackson

 The ego tries to convince us that we must do things to achieve enlightenment. The spirit knows that enlightenment is not a matter of doing, but a magnificent consequence of being.

Tantra

 

Osho

 ''When you remove passion and attachment from love, when your love is pure, innocent, formless, when you give in love and don't demand, when love is only a giving, when love is an emperor, not a beggar; Then you are liberating this bird of love into the open sky. Then you are strengthening its wings. Then this bird can set out on the journey to the infinite.''

‘Birthed By The Stars’ by Justin Copeland

 Believe, therefore, in yourselves. The secret of Hinduism is Believe in yourselves first, and then believe in anything else.

Every person in the world has a heart

Every heart has a place within
that wants only to love and be loved.

Let us connect with that
place of

love in our own heart
and in the hearts of all around us.

Let us take a moment now
to open to the heart connection
we share with all people through love.
