"God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason."
~ Dag Hammarskjold,
Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. All things belong to you - the two - legged, the four - legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things.
—Black Elk, Oglala Sioux
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
~Carl Jung
"Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation."
~Rabindranath Tagore
All beings want to live undisturbed in peace and happiness. Therefore, the concept of human rights is universal. It should apply to everyone who experiences pain or pleasure. This is why developing sincere concern for others gives us peace of mind; it brings with it trust and a sense of peace. Cultivating warm-heartedness contributes to our own well-being.
Dalai Lama
We all have different faces, characters and names. If God wanted us to be all same, He would have done it. Not to respect the differences, to accuse the others for our faults is not to respect God.
~ Shams Tabrizi
All that you seek is already within you. In Hinduism it is called the Atman, in Buddhism the pure Buddha-Mind. Christ said, 'the kingdom of heaven is within you.' Quakers call it the ‘still small voice within.’ This is the space of full awareness that is in harmony with all the universe, and thus is wisdom itself.
