He Inspires Them

The wise man does not unsettle
the minds of the ignorant;
quietly acting in the spirit of yoga,
he inspires them to do the same.

Bhagavat Gita: Ch. 3, Verse 26

God's Name Alone

Dancing is not for me any more.
The mind no longer plays the tune.
The vessel of desire is broken,
the gown of desire has become frayed.
Parts enough I have played;
I can act no more.
Friends and companions
have all forsaken me.
God's name alone I now have.

Kabir

One Free Miracle

Modern science is based upon
the principle:
'Give us one free miracle,
and we'll explain the rest.'

Terrence McKenna

Guru vs. Teacher

The difference is that a teacher points the way;
but the guru is the way.

The guru is a cooked goose, all their seeds are burned
and they're free, so when you're with them,
they are a clean mirror, so you only see your own stuff;
that's all you see, you don't see your stuff mixed
with their stuff, because they don't have any stuff.

With the teacher, you never know what you're getting,
because part of what you see is their stuff,
and part of it is your stuff.

Ram Dass

In All Your Uniqueness

Never forget that if there weren't any need for you
in all your uniqueness, to be on this earth,
you wouldn't be here in the first place.

Buckminster Fuller

Body, Soul

The body is the body,
the soul is the soul.

Ram Dass

Still One Light

All religions, all this singing, one song.
The differences are just illusion and vanity.
Sunlight looks a little different on this wall
than it does on that wall and a lot different
on this other one, but it is still one light.

Jalāl al-Dīn Rumi

No Attachment to Any Level

It takes but a flick of a look in a person's eyes
to see who it is you are to them.
Which level of reality you exist upon.
A conscious being has no attachment to any level,
neither busy denying nor affirming,
neither saying "I am this" nor "I am not this" -
neither protecting nor justifying.

Ram Dass

Nothing More

Don't prolong the past.
Don't invite the future.
Don't alter your innate wakefulness.
Don't fear appearances.
There is nothing more than that!

Dza Patrul

Temporary Good is Enemy

The temporary good is enemy
to the permanent best.

Going Beyond and Allowing

You’d be amazed how quickly you go beyond it,

beyond anything, that you allow completely.

Eckhart Tolle
