A garden for a quote of the day

I thought we could have a section which would be various quotes, parables, proverbs. Like a quote of the day, A garden of thoughts~




If we could see the mirace of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. *Buddha*

 

Yes positive affirmations that's very cool

 

I died as a mineral, and rose a plant,
I died as a plant, and rose again an animal,
I died as an animal, and rose a man.
Why then should I fear to become less by dying?

I shall die once again as a man,
To rise an angel, perfect from head to foot.
Again, when I suffer dissolution as an angel,
I shall become what passes the conception of man.

Rumi

 

No man can fall any lower than the very lowest that is within each one of you, just as no saint can climb any higher than the highest that is within you also

Kahlil Gibran

I used to be a deep believer in this one, but recently ive had some cery bad experiences with a person. Ive seen deep into their minds, and am having trouble imagining that the very same capability is within me. But i thought id share it anyway. Itd be good if i could believe it again, surely

 

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." ~Jesus~

I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know. There we go beyond those limited and limiting patterns of body, emotions, volition, and understanding that have been keeping us in dry-dock. Instead we become available to our capacity for a larger life in body, mind, and spirit. In this state we know great torrents of delight.

And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. ~Kahlil Gibran~

 

Sagehood has nothing to do with governing others
but is a matter of ordering oneself. Nobility has
nothing to do with power and rank but is a matter
of self realization. Attain self-realization, and the
whole world is found in the self. Happiness has
nothing to do with wealth and status, but is a matter
of harmony.
- Lao-tze

The oneness of human beings is the basic ethical thread that holds us together.

Thank you wyldwynd



God is Within You

When one realizes God, He grants knowledge and illumination
from within; one knows it oneself. In the fullness of one's spiritual
realization one will find that He who resides in one's heart, resides
in the hearts of others as well - the oppressed, the persecuted, the
untouchable, and the outcast.

"Oh my friends, sing the Name of God! When it gets too damn hard, just sing. Have no fear, don't give up. Sing! When it gets too good, sing. When it falls apart, sing. When it comes together, sing. Cry and sing. Sing and cry. Living sing. Dying sing. Listening sing. Singing sing."- Krishna Das

 

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. ~Socrates~

 

All men were made by the same great spirit chief.
They are all brothers.
The earth is the mother of all people,
and all people should have equal rights upon it.

A very great vision is needed and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky. ~Crazy Horse~

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Lifes longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you, and though they are with you, they belong not to you

Gibran

It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is. ~Hermann Hesse ~
