Some
quotes from Speaking Tree.
· If we had no winter,
the spring would not be so pleasant. - Anne Bradstreet
· To be conscious of
Being, you need to reclaim consciousness from the mind. This is one of the most
essential tasks on your spiritual journey - Eckhart Tolle
· It’s not what a man
says, it’s what he does, and it’s not what he does, it’s what he is while he
does, and it’s not what he is while he does, it’s what he is without doing, and
it’s not what he is without doing, it’s what he is not, without doing - Thomas
M Easley
· Anger is a demon.
Anger leads us to commit all other sins. In the case of Vishwamitra, we know
that all the good he acquired by tapas was nullified by this one evil, anger.
The merit he had accumulated through tapas undertaken for thousands of years
was all lost in a moment of anger. - Satya Sai Baba
· The soul which is
free from the defect of karma gets to the highest point of the universe, knows
all and perceives all, and obtains the transcendental bliss everlasting -
Kundakunda, Pancastikaya 170
· Joy is what happens
when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are - Marianne
Williamson
· I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember. I do and I understand. - Confucius
· All that is on the
earth will perish: But will abide forever the face of thy Lord-- full of
majesty, bounty, and honour - Quran 55.26-27
· Lose the hope for
affirmation of being and you will find the peace and release of the void.
Emptiness is the natural state of reality, it can only be felt/known. Reality
is not intellectual, it is mindless. You must feel/know it. Once you feel/know
it then you will be finally free - Steven Norquist
· How can anyone
understand the absence of the one who is trying to understand?? How can that
ever be understood? How can 'you' understand the absence of the 'you' who is
trying to understand? It's just not possible. So, inevitably, what will arise
is confusion. Confusion is simply an expression of the impossibility to
understand - Jeff Foster
· You must look into
other people as well as at them. - Lord Chesterfield
