Plutarch

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”

 

vedantic teachings

Your doubts will never be totally destroyed until perception has gone beyond mere phenomenality , and such perception is not a matter of will, but of Grace.

Sanskrit Proverb

Look to this day
for it is life
the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
the realities and truths of existence
the joy of growth
the splendor of action
the glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived
allows every yesterday to be a memory of happiness
and every tomorrow to be a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.  Unless of course, you have other plans?

the Human Being…

~ that infinitesimal unit on whom a world depends, and in whom, even G-D seeks his goal.

Ramesh S Balsekar

Insecurity can never disappear until the sense of separation itself disappears.

There is actually only seeing ~ neither the seer nor the seen exists apart from the process that seeing is.

Real understanding does not solve problems, it dissolves them.

The presence of a ‘me’ in any activity, including spiritual practice, insures the continuance of desire, and the perpetuation of attachment and aversion.

The “me”

The notion of individual volition has been referred to as ‘the bite of the deadly serpent ego’ because it is the very root of the concept of bondage or unhappiness, and the only thing which can free man of its poison is the abandonment of his identification with a particular object as a “me”.

Expand your beliefs and you shall expand your experience.

In order to become unbound, you need only transcend the mundane and ordinary view you hold both of self and the life you are living. Alter the perception of your purpose on this planet, and you will automatically transform its nature and character. Change is found only through your willingness to perceive your own purpose differently.

“Heart” Gary Zukav

“without an awareness of your emotions you are not able to experience reverence.

Reverence is not an emotion. It is a way of being, but the path to reverence is through your heart, and only awareness of your feelings can open your heart.”

 

Lao-tzu

“i have but three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in action and in thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies you accord to the way things are. Compassionate towards yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.”

Be here now…

Any questions? We all know the saying, but so few actualize it. Living with the capacity to allow is the surest way to arrive in the here now moment. To learn the art of ‘allowing’ will take practice… are you willing to practice? If yes, get to it now, if not, well, stop complaining, that will at least take you one step closer to ‘allowing’!
