Enlightenment means being fully conscious, aware. Ordinarily we are not conscious and not aware. We are doing things either out of habit or out of biological instinct. -- Osho Life reveals itself only to the conscious. -- Barry Long |

“People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head; it is actually done by the heart which first dictates the conclusion, then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it.”
― Anthony de Mello |
'Silence is a profound melody, for those who can hear it above all the noise' - Socrates

In the sky there is distinction between East and West; People create distinctions out of their own mind and then believe them to be true.
No one saves us but ourselves. no one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see ones own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one's own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice. The tongue like a sharp knife, kills without drawing blood. Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace. Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. -Guatama Buddah |

My heart searched for your fragrance
in the breeze moving at dawn, my eyes searched for the flower of your face in the garden of creation. Neither could lead me to your abode -- contemplation alone showed me the way. Sarmad, d 1659 |
