आज है हम सोच रहे, जीवन के पथ खोज रहे
क्या है सत्या, क्या असत्या, खेल-खेल में भूल गये
जो था करना वो ना किया, बाकी सब में उलझ गये
आज खड़े है असमंजस में, जीवन के पथ खोज रहे

The inner light

The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightning shine? All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme.

Respond intelligently

Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment. - Lao Tzu

Become nobodies

Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love. - Osho

My own experience

They proved to me by convincing reasons that God does not exist; Afterwards I saw God, for he came and embraced me. And now what am I to believe - the reasoning of others or my own experience? Truth is what the soul has seen and experienced; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion. - Aurobindo

Life is life

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage. - Aurobindo

Love we put in

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters. - Mother Teresa

Grow from inside out

"You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul." - Vivekanad

Don't wobble

When walking - walk.

When sitting - sit.

But don't wobble!

When asked how he disciplined himself in Zen, a master replied, "When hungry, I eat. When tired, I sleep."
The questioner responded in a surprise, "But that is what everyone does!"
"Not at all," replied the master, "Most people are constantly distracted from what they are doing."
We should try to live and appreciate every moment in complete awareness. Zen is not 'trying' to follow a certain way, it is just being what you are and doing what you do according to your true nature.

Each soul is potentially perfect

"A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception (Anant-darshana), perfect knowledge (Anant-jnana), perfect power (Anant-virya), and perfect bliss (Anant-sukha)." - Mahavir

An empire of Love

“Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.” - Napoleon Bonaparte
