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

Two great quotes that get right to the heart of the matter, imo - thanks


'If you're not everyone's up of tea, don't try to be tea. Be coffee, or hot chocolate :P' - saw this quote on the twitter account of Glacier Serenade (who's an SF member), made me chuckle

“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.”

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

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
