|
|
6 |
"Fear is the easiest thing in the world: it's cheap and widespread. Tyrants and oppressors count on fear's contagion to dominate others. But if one person steps forward and summons courage, his or her courage becomes equally contagious, spreading to others and becoming a movement."
|
|
7 |
"The Divine flows through all of us."
|
|

"We are all blessed with [a] vast mine of infinite compassion if we open ourselves to our true nature."
|
|

"The Divine Reality – the Source of Being, Allah, the Brahman, the Tao, the One, the Ground of Being – has a limitless number of qualities; each one of these is itself infinite, but each also expresses the one nature."
|
|
10 |
"If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration, but timelessnes, eternal life is theirs who live in the present." Ludwig Wittgenstein, philosopher
|
|
11 |

|
|
12 |
"The Divine is the knower in all of us, and we have to align ourselves with it."
|
|
13 |
"We have to have faith in our own abilities to take us to a place of safety for humanity and other sentient beings."
|
|
14 |
"Each of us is part of the infinite reality of the Divine's face, a manifestation of its endless creativity, and each is dear to this ineffable source."
|
|
15 |
"God's will embraces the totality of our development and faith. Trust and love are the keys that open us to the fullness of God's will for us."
|
|
16 |
"Before the Unconditioned, the conditioned dances: 'Thou and I are one!' this trumpet proclaims." Kabir
|
|
17 |
"In eternity there is no succession, no moment by moment, but only one integral moment, the Everlasting Now in which all moments are part of the absolute moment of the Now. All the moments of all lives in all worlds, in all realms and universes, are simultaneous with one another. It is like a great cosmic, heavenly banquet at which we are all present: everything that is, was or could be. Let us all aspire to realize this Divine Consciousness, our birthright and our final home."
|
|
18 |
"Our individual natures are manifestations of the unfolding movement of the yin and yang principles, which in turn encompass and represent every opposite that exists. Yang represents light; yin dark. Yang represents male; yin female. Each opposite produces the other, and in their entirety they encompass the Tao, or the Way."
|
|

"Your trials did not come to punish you, but to awaken you." Paramahansa Yogananda

"God is everywhere, in every being and in every situation, in the cosmos and the natural world, in our loved ones, our friends, just as he is in the stranger, our neighbors, our pets, and very pointedly in the suffering."
|
|
22 |
"Compassion is the keen awareness of the interdependence of all things." Thomas Merton
|
|
23 |
"Optimism is a choice. A future can be built on optimism but not on its opposite."
|
|
24 |
"Christians, and those who simply admire Christ's teachings, are fortunate to have such a personal example of love to follow. Each one of us is capable of this commitment."
|
|
25 |
"We cannot really die in any permanent way, but are ever called on from one transition to another until we are transformed. Once we know how to be here in the integrity of the moment, we enter the Eternal Now and we know we wil always be."
