--Lao Tzu

 Every human being's essential nature

is perfect and faultless,

but after years of immersion in the world

we easily forget our roots

and take on a counterfeit nature.

Pema Chödrön

 "No matter what comes along, we’re always standing at the center of the world in the middle of sacred space, and everything that comes into that circle and exists with us there has come to teach us what we need to know.

Our life’s work is to wake up, to let the things that enter into the circle wake you up rather than put you to sleep."

Yogananda

 

Robert Louis Stevenson

 “It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”

Avadhuta Gita

 

D. L. Robinson

 "We are energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes form. Einstein realized that.

When seen out of context, a cloud in thy sky could just as easily be a wave in the sand. Perceptual experience is choice. Can you open your mind to the infinite possibilities?"

Joseph Campbell

 “Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

Ribhu Gita

 When one is convinced that one is always That which is Existence-Consciousness-Bliss and abides as That in a state of complete identity, one casts off the unreal bondage of identification with birth and death and attains liberation. This is the significance of the highly blissful mood and dance of our Supreme and undifferentiated God.

                                               

Rumi

 Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.

 

Wu Hsin

 “To know an object is Knowing.

Even without an object, Knowing remains.

As such, one should understand that even though things come and go, the nature of Knowing neither comes nor goes.”
