“My sail boat once sank,
I know what was going on then,
I saw a glowing globe….”

“All that a guru can tell you is:
‘My dear Sir, you are quite mistaken about yourself.
You are not the person you take yourself to be.’”

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

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

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. 

–Thich Nhat Hanh

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…
~Rumi

Knowing is not enough,
we must apply.
Willing is not enough,
we must do.

~Bruce Lee

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

~Carl Jung

O’ GREAT SPIRIT
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.
