Quotes from the Masters and Teachers

[A human Being]

'It really helps to know that it's okay to be human. It's all right to have whatever is arising right now. And if you don't think it's okay, look at that and ask yourself: Is that really true?' - Jon Bernie

OMG yes, thank you...my poor sister...i can only sit and watch it happen...the 'ego', of course,

"My love is unconditional. Your action is irrelevant."

Osho

They walked on, thinking of This and That, and by-and-by they came to an enchanted place on the very top of the Forest called Galleons Lap, which is sixty-something trees in a circle; and Christopher Robin knew that it was enchanted because nobody had ever been able to count whether it was sixty-three or sixty-four, not even when he tied a piece of string round each tree after he had counted it. Being enchanted, its floor was not like the floor of the Forest, gorse and bracken and heather, but close-set grass, quiet and smooth and green. It was the only place in the Forest where you could sit down carelessly, without getting up again almost at once and looking for somewhere else. Sitting there they could see the whole world spread out until it reached the sky, and whatever there was all the world over was with them in Galleons Lap.

“And by and by Christopher Robin came to the end of things, and he was silent, and he sat there, looking out over the world, just wishing it wouldn't stop.”

A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

[Miss Hepburn]

To commune daily with God in deep meditation,
and to carry His love and guidance with you into
all your dutiful activities,
is the way that leads to permanent peace and happiness.
