  • From his divine power comes forth all this

    Magical show of name and form, of you

    And me, which casts the spell of pain and pleasure.

    Only when we pierce through this magic veil

    Do we see the One who appears as many.

    -Shvetashvatara Upanishad


  • God is Consciousness that pervades the entire universe of the living and the non-living.

    -Ramakrishna

  • Whether a man really loves God can be determined by the love he bears toward his fellow men.

    - Levi Yitzhok, quoted in Buber, “Tales of the Hasidim”

  • Acceptance

    This passage shows the power of judgment–it voids acceptance and peace:

    Erroneous views keep us in defilement
    While right views remove us from it,
    But when we are in a position to discard both of them
    We are then absolutely pure.

    -The Sutra of Hui Neng

  • O God, it would be impossible for me to distance myself from you; it
    would be impossible for you to distance yourself from me. In the
    certainty of our relationship, proximity and distance are the same.

    -Hallaj, “Tawasin”

  • It is not a virtue to refrain from hurting others, but it is a virtue to
    bear a hurt patiently.

    - Solomon
    Ibn Gabirol, Mibhar HaPeninim

  • Happy New Year to all . . .

    Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in
    harmony and peace with each other and with nature. That is not just a
    dream, but a necessity. We are dependent on each other in so many ways
    that we can no longer live in isolated communities and ignore what is
    happening outside those communities.

    -His Holiness the Dalai Lama
