SILENCE AND STILLNESS

Om. That is whole, and this also is whole, for only the whole is born out of the whole, And when the whole is taken from the whole, behold the remainder is whole, Om. Peace, peace, peace. This is perfect. Perfect comes from perfect.
Take perfect from perfect, the remainder is perfect. May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.

-The Upnishads

The man who, casting off all desires, lives free from attachment; who is free lives free from egoism and from the feeling that this or that is mine, obtains tranquility. That man attains peace who, abandoning all desires, moves about without attachment and longing, without the sense of ‘I’ and ‘mine;
This is the state of dwelling in god; having attained this, no one is ever deluded. Being established in this knowledge even at the end of life, one attains oneness with the supreme.

-The Bhagvad Gita

Drinking tea, eating rice, I pass my time as it comes, looking down at the stream, looking up at the mountain, How serene and relaxed I feel indeed!’’

MYSTICISM - 2

During the past thirty years, people from all the civilized countries of the earth have consulted me. I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life that is to say, over thirty-five-there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

It is safe say that every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age have given to their followers, and none of them has been really healed who did not regain his religious

Outlook.

-Carl Gustav Jung

Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous…. In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

If want nothing to do with Any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth, and ignorance.

-Jawaharlal Nehru

If have not come to establish any cult, society or organization; nor even to establish a new religion. The religion that I shall give teaches the knowledge of the one behind the many. The book that I shall make people read is the book of the heart that hold s the key to the Mystery of life.

I shall bring about a happy blending of the head and the heart. I shall revitalize all religions and cults, and bring them together like beads on one string.

-Meher Bada

Of die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.

-Jorge Luis Borges

Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.

-L.Ronald Hubbbard

irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness- an act of trust in the unknown.

-Alan Watts

All the religions have lied to you…. They say that if you give hare, you will be rewarded in heaven. Neither do they have any evidence of heaven nor do they have any evidence from millions of people who have gone before- just a single letter, a postcard – that yes, what these priests are saying is right.

-Osho SUFFERING

Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. Give yourself to it.

-Hermann Hesse

The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and what seems hard dealing, there god has no and in view but to perfect His people.

-Thomas Guthrie

Fell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

-Paulo Coelho

Suffering is a journey which has an and.

-Matthew Fox

Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

-Khalil Gibran

While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert it only irritates.

MYSTICISM - 1

For what is mysticism? Is it not the attempt to draw near to god, not by rites or ceremonies, but by inward disposition? Is it not merely a hard word for the kingdom of heaven is within?’ heaven is neither a place nor a time.

-Florence Nightiangale ONENESS


all know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.

-kabir

Know that the self is the master; the body is the car, ‘tis plain; know the intellect as the driver and the mind of course the rein the senses are the horses, sure, the objects, roads that here, there wind; the wise him call the enjoyer combined with body, sense and mind.

-The Upanishads RELIGION

Of a scholar, being poor, cannot help people with money but will on occasions wake up a man from his folly or save a man from trouble with a word of advice, that is also a from of (religious) merit.

-Mr. Tut-Tut

Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.

-Thomas Paing

I am for religion, against religions.

-Victor Hugo

If there is ever to be a universal religion, it must be one which will have no location in place or time; which will be infinite, like the god it will preach, and whose sun will shine upon the followers of Krishna and of Christ, on saints and sinners alike; which will not be Brahminic or budhhistic Christian or mohmmedan, but the sum total of there, and still have infinite space for development; which in its catholicity will embrace in its infinite arms, and find a place for. Every human being, from the lowest groveling savage not far removed from the brute,
To the highest man towering by the virtues of his head and head almost above humanity, making society stand in awe of him and doubt his human nature.

It will be a religion which will have no place for persecution or intolerance in its polity, which will recognize divinity in every man and woman, and whose whole scope. Whose whole force, will be centered in aiding humanity to realize its own true, divine nature. Often such a religion and all the nations will follow you…. May he who is the Brahman of the Hindus. The Aura- Mazda of the Zoroastrians, the Buddha of the Buddhists, the Jehovah of the Jews, the father in heaven of the Christians, give strength to you to carry out your noble idea!

MIND

The capacity of the mind is as great as great that of space. It is infinite, neither round nor square, neither great nor small, neither green nor yellow, neither red nor white, neither above nor below, neither long nor short,neither angry nor happy,
Neither right nor wrong, neither good nor evil, neither first nor…. Intrinsically our transcendental nature is void and not a single dharma (Truth) can be attained. It is the same with the essence of mind, which is a state of ‘ Absolute void’

-Wei Lang

Do you make efforts in the practice of the way, master? Master: yes, I do.
Q. How? master: When hungry, I eat; when tired, I Sleep.
Q. And does everybody make the same efforts as you do, master? master: when they are eating, they think of a hundred kinds of necessities, and when they are going to sleep they ponder over affairs of a thousand different kinds. That is how they differ from me.

-Hui Hai

"It is like an image reflected in a mirror, it is seen but it is not real; the one mind is seen as a duality by the ignorant when it is reflected in the mirror constructed by our memory… the existence of the entire universe is due to memory that has been accumulated since the beginning less past but wrongly interpreted."

-Lankavatara Sutra

"The self never undergoes change; the intellect never possesses consciousness. But when one sees this entire world, he is deluded into thinking ‘ I am the seer, I am the knower.’ mistaking one’s self for the individual entity,like the rope mistaken for the snake, one is overcome with fear. If one knows oneself not as the individual but as the Supreme Self, one becomes free from fear."

-Shankara

"Thought creates a division between what is and what should be, and on this division morality is based; but neither the moral not the immoral know love. This moral structure, created by the mind to hold social relationship together,is not love, but a hardening process like that of cement, The very activity of the mind is a barrier to its own understanding."

-J. Krishnamurthi

"The mind needs occupation. The mind needs that you should forget yourself be occupied with something. This is an escape from the innate truth."

-Osho


"Every time a thought is born, you are born. When the thought is gone, you are gone. But the ‘you’ does not let the thought go. and what gives continuity to this ‘you’ is thinking. Actually there’s no permanent entity in you, no totality of all your thoughts and experiences. You think that there is somebody’who is feeling your feelings- that’s the illusion. I can say it is illusion but it is not an illusion to you. Where are the thoughts located? They are not in the brain. Thoughts are not manufactured by the brain. It is, rather, that the brain is like an antenna, picking up thoughts on a common thought-sphere."
