Said the river to the seeker,
“Does one really have to
fret about enlightenment?
No matter which way I turn,
I’m homeward bound.”

Too many colours blind the eye.
Too many tones deafen the ear.
Too many flavours dull the taste.
Too many thoughts derange the mind.
Too many desires weaken the heart.

The Sage observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.

~ Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching, c.12)

When mind-storm strikes - cut or unplug.
Avoid engaging in any story or analysis.
Instead, immediately cut the juice of attention
and unplug from the mind current.
This is the marvelousness of impersonal witnessing;
that simply by keeping one’s attention in the state of
neutrality, mind returns to its natural abode as unborn awareness.

~ Mooji

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.

This is the time
For you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is sacred.

–Hafiz

Through my love for you,
I want to express my love for the whole cosmos,
the whole of humanity,
and all beings.
By living with you,
I want to learn to love everyone and all species.
If I succeed in loving you,
I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth…
This is the real message of love.

Those Who Don’t Feel This Love
pulling them like a river
those who don’t drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take sunset like supper
those who don’t want to change
let them sleep…

I am a fountain, You are my water.
I flow from You to You.

I am an eye, You are my light,
I look from You to You.

You are neither my right nor my left.
You are my foot and my arm as well.

I am a traveler, You are my road.
I go from You to You.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
