Streaming water

"One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others." ~ Lao Tzu

Simply being

"Dharma is simply BEING. Being what you are…. its PURE. Anything added to it, becomes impure e.g., Hindu Dharma, Christian Dharma, Muslim Dharma, Buddha Dharma, Sikh Dharma, Jain Dharma, etc…. You are love and love has no tags before and after it." ~ Satish Kaku

Real temple

A single insight into yourself in more valuable than all your sculptures. A single glimpse of consciousness and you have entered the real temple. ~ Osho

One seed

One seed can make a whole earth green. One spark on you can fill the whole earth with Dance, Song and Music. ~ Osho

What lies within us

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." ~ Emerson

Self is everywhere

Those who see all creatures in themselves and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life delude the one who sees its unity? The Self is everywhere. Bright is the Self, indivisible, untouched by sin, wise and transcendent. She it is who holds the cosmos together.
~ Isha Upanishad

Bereavement

Bereavement can force you to look at your life directly, compelling you to find a purpose in it where there may not have been one before. When suddenly you find yourself alone after the death of someone you love, it can feel as if you are being given a new life and are being asked: “What will you do with this life? And why do you wish to continue living?”

My heartfelt advice to those in the depths of grief and despair after losing someone they dearly loved is to pray for help and strength and grace. Pray that you will survive and discover the richest possible meaning to the new life you now find yourself in. Be vulnerable and receptive, be courageous and patient. Above all, look into your life to find ways of sharing your love more deeply with others now.

~ Sogyal Rinpoche

Emotions

Take care of your emotions. You can let it out simply by observing it instead of personalising and and holding it. ~ Satish Kaku

The glory of meditation

The real glory of meditation lies not in any method but in its continual living experience of presence, in its bliss, clarity, peace, and, most important of all, complete absence of grasping.

The diminishing of your grasping is a sign that you are becoming freer of yourself. And the more you experience this freedom, the clearer the sign that the ego and the hopes and fears that keep it alive are dissolving and the closer you will come to the infinitely generous “wisdom of egolessness.” When you live in that wisdom home, you’ll no longer find a barrier between “I” and “you,” “this” and “that,” “inside” and “outside”; you’ll have come, finally, to your true home, the state of nonduality.
~ Sogyal Rinpoche

State of Dilemma

When you are stuck on a decision where your mind and heart are creating the dilemma, Listen to your mind and not your heart.  Don't let your heart pound your mind!!!
