When you travel to the Celestial City, carry no letters of introduction. When you knock, ask to see God, none of the servants.
Now or Never! You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights.
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be mortifying in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishin in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see.
I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
Practice not doing and everything will fall into place.
The Way that can be named is not the Way.
Whoso bendeth himself shall be straightened. Whoso emptieth himself shall be filled. Whoso weareth himself away shall be renewed. Whoso humbleth himself shall be exalted. Whoso exalteth himself shall be abased. Therefore doth the Sage cling to simplicity.
The infinite seeks the intimate presence of the finite, the finite to disappear in the infinite. I do not know whose scheme this is, that the bound should be on a search for freedom, freedom asking to be housed in the bound.
Who would claim that they are living according to God who throughout whole days or even months and years do not sigh out to God and do not aspire to God? A clear sign of death is not breathing. If this breathing is prayer, not to pray is a sign of death. The spiritual life, by which we are children of God, is rooted in love… Who loves without wanting to see the person he loves? God asks nothing of the highest soul but attention.
For in our searchings are found all our desires, and we gain victory over our worlds.
He who knows the Bliss of Brahman does not distress himself with the thought, “Why did I not do what is good? Why did I do what is evil?” Whoever knows this bliss regards both of these as Atman (self, soul), indeed he cherishes both as Atman.
That thou art.
Whoever sees all beings in the soul and the soul in all beings…
What delusion or sorrow is there for one who sees unity?
It has filled all. It is radiant, incorporeal, invulnerable…
Wise, intelligent, encompassing, self-existent,
It organizes objects throughout eternity.
Then he realized, I indeed, I am this creation, for I have poured it forth from myself. In that way he became this creation. Verily, he who knows this becomes in this creation a creator.
Of a certainty, the man who can see all creatures in himself, himself in all creatures, knows no sorrow.
I am this world and I eat this world. Who knows this, knows.
