“For so many thousands of years

ou have been drinking and drinking

nd still your thirst is not satisfied

Oh Fortunate One

rink now from the fountain of enlightened mind

Milarepa,

yogui of Tibet

Spiritual practice, when done from the heart, does not become old,

repetitive, or hollow - it only

become

s deeper - so deep that words

are too

shallow to try to convey the richness.

Seung Sahn

The Truth is t

be realized here

in this lif

e. It is vain to expect

that

things

will change and improve after. The change or

improvement

cannot come

from outside of yourself. …The world

you reach after the

body is shed is

determined by the level of

consciousness reached while

in the body.

Kularnava Tantra

"One must seek the shortest way and the fastest means

to get

back home - to turn the spark within into a blaze,

to be merged

in and to identify with that greater fire

which ignited the

spark"

Nityanand

"Meditation is not just a practice. Meditation is a natural state. It's

actual

channel

in our consciousness, a bandwidth of tranquility

...

Once you

discover how to tune

yourself to the

meditation

bandwidth,

it will empower

your life from within."

Sally Kempton

Ramana Maharshi:

Though you give up all faults, acquire all merits, cast off every

kinship and practice every penance known, you cannot gain the

ultimate bliss until you reach the Teacher’s feet."

The breeze of dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want
Don't go back to sleep
People are going back and forth
across the doors where
the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.

Rumi

Love and serve all humanity.

Assist everyone.

Be happy, be courteous

Be a dynamo of irrepressible joy.

Recognize God and goodness in

every face.

here is no saint without a past

and no

sinner without a future.

Praise everyone.

If you cannot praise someone,

let them out of your life.

Be original, be inventive.

Be courageous.

Take courage again and again.

Do not imitate; be strong, be upright.

Do not lean on the crutches of others.

Think with your own head. Be yourself.

All perfection and every divine virtue

are hidden within you.

Reveal them to the world.

Wisdom, too, is already within you.

Let it shine forth.

Let the Lord's grace set you free.

Let your life be that of the rose;

in silence, it speaks the language of fragrance.

Babaji of Herakhan, Himalayas

"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.

Now you

must

back and tell

e people that this is The Hour!

There are things to be considered: Where are you living? What are

you

doing?

What are your

relationships? Are you in right relation?

Where is

your water?

Know your garden.

It is time to speak

your truth. Create you

r community. Be good to

each

other.

And do not look

outside yourself for the leader.

Know, the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of

the

shore,

push off into the

middle of the river, keep our eyes open,

and our

heads above

water. See who is there with you

and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of

all,

ourselves.

For the moment

that we do, our spiritual growth and

journey

comes

to a halt.

The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.

All that

now must be

done in a sacred manner and in

celebration.

We are the ones we've been waiting for!"

Anonymous Hopi elder

Go within to the deepest recesses of your heart and ask your I

Presence how you can be the greatest force of Light, right

here

and right

now. How can you personally add to the Light of the

world? What can you

do to bring more love, joy, abundance and

peace into your own life and

the lives of those who are in your

sphere of influence? You will be

amazed at the answers you

receive. This is your moment. Now is the time.

"One of my favorite quotes from the KULARNAVA TANTRA of Kashmir

emember, the body does not last for ever

Age prowls like a

leopard,

diseases strike like an enemy

It is a wonder how

people

can be so

complacent and unmindful when everywhere there is

thunder of crash

Time flies without your knowing. Prosperity is

like a dream, youth like a

blossom, life-span momentary like

lightning. Even a hundred years is too

little

half the life is

spent in sleep and the other half is made

infructuous

by infancy,

disease, misery, age and what not.

Deluded by ignorance (avidya),

looks not at what

is seen

, grasps

not

what

is heard

, f

ollows not what

is read. He fails to see that

with every

moment that passes

this

body decays. The Wolf of Time

rushes upon him

when he is still prattling of my children, my wife,

my wealth, my relations.

Death swallows him when he is still

thinking of what is done, what is yet

to be done and what is half-

done.

herefore do today what is required to be ready tomorrow, do in

the

forenoon what is meant for the afternoon

Death waits not to

see what is

done or not done

“To believe or not believe in

od, both concepts

are intellectual’’

time to shift from blind belief

the search for

eality.

Don't kill the Quest!

Look for the flower to bloom in the silence that follows the storm:

not till

then.

It shall grow, it will shoot up, it will make branches

and leaves and

form buds, while the storm continues, while the

battle lasts.

But

not

till the whole personality of the man is

dissolved and

melted --

not

until

it is held by the divine fragment

which has

created it, as a

mere

subject for grave experiment and

experience

-- not until the

whole

nature

has yielded and become

subject unto

its higher self,

can the

bloom open.

Then will come a

calm such as comes in a

tropical country

after the

heavy

rain, when

Nature works so

swiftly that one may see

her

action.

And in the

deep silence the

mysterious event will

occur which will

prove

that

the

way has been

found. Call it by what

name you will, it

is a voice

that

speaks where

there is none to speak

-- it is a

messenger that

comes, a

messenger

without form or

substance; or

it is the flower

of the soul

that

has

opened.

cannot be described by any

metaphor. But it can

be felt

after,

looked for,

and desired, even

amid the raging of the

storm.

The

silence may last a

moment of

time or it may last a thousand

years.

But

you will carry its

strength with you.

Again

and

again the battle must be fought and

won.

Random quotes from the persian mystic poet, Hafiz:

ven after all this time

the

un never says to the

arth

You owe me

Look what happens with a love like that

It lights the whole sky

Ni hasta despues de tanto tiempo

El Sol nunca dice a la Tierra

"Tu me debes"

Mire lo que pasa con un amor asi

Ilumine todo el Cielo

"Remember for just one minute of the day

would be best to look upon yourself as God does

For

is revealed your

true royal nature"

Acuerdete por solo un minuto del dia

Verte a ti mismo como lo vea

Dios

Porque asi es revelada tu verdadera natur

Now is the time to know that all that you do is sacred

Now is the

time for you to deeply compute

the impossibility that there is anything
