Guest guest Posted October 28, 1999 Report Share Posted October 28, 1999 A collection of useful quotes, collected from subscription at http://www.deeshan.com Your responsibility towards existence shows how much you have attained to your authentic reality. We cannot see your authentic reality but we can see your responsibility. Mahavira -------------------------- If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you will be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. Abraham Maslow ---------------------- The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein ----------------------- The sadness of life is this: the emptiness that we try to fill with every conceivable trick of the mind. But that emptiness remains. Its sadness is the vain effort to possess. J. Krishnamurti ----------------------- Non-attachment is freedom from longing for all objects of desire, either earthly or traditional, either here or hereafter. Patanjali ---------------------- When the moon rises in the heart of heaven And a light breeze touches the mirror-like face of the lake That is indeed a moment of pure joy. But few are they who are aware of it. Anon -------------------- Once you have known yourself, nothing else is of value. Nagarjuna ----------------------- Absorbed totally, absorbed in whatsoever you are doing, this is what meditation is. Not that you sit for a special period and repeat a mantra, not that you go to the church or to the temple or to the mosque, but to be in life - to go on doing trivial things, but with such absorption that the profundity is revealed in every action. Saraha --------------------- Forego everything that you have thought up to now meaningful, significant. Sacrifice everything for this ultimate because this is the only thing that will make you contented, that will make you fulfilled, that will bring spring to your being... and you will blossom into a thousand and one flowers. Buddha ---------------------- I teach death, the death I passed through when I became awakened. It was the death of sleep, not of me. The ego died, not me: duality died, not me. Duality died, and oneness was born. Time died, and I met the eternal. The small constricted life broke, and the drop became the ocean. Gorakh --------------------------- If people are quiet, They can be quiet anywhere. If people aren't quiet They won't be quiet in the mountains. Everything depends on you. Life is transient, Like a flash of lightening in a dream. Chi-ch'eng -------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
