| * nonagresiv | |
| A superior being does not render evil for evil. Never harm the wicked or the good or even criminals meeting death. A noble soul is always compassionate, even toward those who enjoy injuring others or who are actually committing cruel deeds--for who is without fault? -Ramayana |
| * Axioma | |
| When your attention is in the present moment, you are in the presence of God and God is present in you |
| * Selful aici e unul primordial | |

Dumnezeu e cu cei necajiti
When Moses conversed with God, he asked, "Lord, where shall I seek You?"
God answered, "Among the brokenhearted."
Moses continued, "But, Lord, no heart could be more despairing than mine."
And God replied, "Then I am where you are.

He sprang from his sleep to behold the blind man reading from the
Qur'an. "O you with no eyes, how can you see those lines?"
The blind man replied, "I begged my Lord, crying, 'O You who help
those who seek, restore my sight that I may read the Book of Life.' My
Lord replied, 'O man of devotion, whose hope am I, when you want to
read this Book of Mine, you shall have sight at that time.' So the
King restored my eyes, like a lamp till the end of the night."
-Rumi, "Mathnawi

When asked where God is, people point towards the sky or some far and
distant region; no wonder then that He does not manifest Himself!
Realize that He is in you, with you, behind you, and all around you;
and He can be seen and felt everywhere.
-Sathya Sai Baba
* Spirit : 3 Emergent Spiritual Properties
If transformation is the norm, then spiritual transformation falls
into place as an extension of where life has been going all along.
While still remaining who you are, you can bring about a quantum leap
in your awareness, and the sign that the leap is real will be some
emergent property you never experienced in the past.
1. Knowingness means being in touch with the level of the mind where
every question is answered. It is related to genius, although
knowingness isn't focused on music, mathematics, or other specific
subjects. Your area of knowledge is life itself and the movement of
consciousness on every level. Knowingness feels wise, confident,
unshakable, and yet humble.
2. Reverence for Life means being in touch with the life force. You
feel the same power flowing through you as through every living thing;
even the dust in a beam of light dances to the same rhythm. Therefore,
life isn't limited to plants and animals–everything possesses a
glowing, animated vitality. Reverence for life feels warm, connected,
and exhilarating.
3. Non-violence means being in harmony with every action. There is no
opposition between what you do and what anyone else does. Your desires
do not clash with another person's well-being. When you look around
you see conflict in the world at large but not in your world. You
emanate peace like a force field that subdues conflict in your
surroundings. Non-violence feels peaceful, still, and completely
without resistance.
-- Deepak Chopra
Sfaturi supreme
Worship the Merciful, feed the hungry, and spread peace. You shall
then enter Paradise in peace
* Pastreaza selful cit mai independent
Life is uncertain, change causes fear, and latent impressions bring
pain--all is indeed suffering to one who has developed discrimination.
But the suffering yet to come should be averted. The cause of
suffering is that the unbounded Self is overshadowed by the world.
-The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2:15-17
8 separate traduce cu psihicul,ego,constiinta
The Atman is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action,
the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that
illuminates everything in a theater, revealing the master of
ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality.
Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
-Panchadashi

| Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances. -Mahatma Gandhi, 1929 |
| * Planul doi | |
| Love your true Self, Which is naturally happy And peaceful and bright! Awaken to your own nature, And all delusion melts like a dream. -Ashtavakra Gita 18: |
God sleeps in the Minerals,
Awakens in the Plants,
Walks in the Animals and
Thinks in You.
-- Sanskrit proverb
| * Lumea selfului | |
| Although the limitations of the world disappear for one who knows the Self, they are not destroyed, because they continue to exist for others. -The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2:22 *From "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,"* |
| * Fericirea are caza afectiva | |
| He who wants to expand the field of happiness, let him lay the foundation of it on the bottom of his heart. *-Tao saying* |
* Dumnezeu in noi
A man may have never entered a church or a mosque, not performed any
ceremony; but if he realizes God within himself, and is thereby lifted above
the vanities of the world, that man is a holy man, a saint, call him what
you will…
*-Vivekananda
| * Self |
Conscious spirit and unconscious matter
Both have existed since the dawn of time,
With maya [illusion] appearing to connect them,
Misrepresenting joy as outside us.
When all these three are seen as one, the Self
Reveals his universal form and serves
As an instrument of the divine will.
-Shvetashvatara Upanishad
| * Stari incompatibile | |
| A man cannot serve God and Mammon, nor be temperate and furious at the same time. -Mahatma Gandhi |
| * Drumul libertatii | |
| He longs to be free… He has no care for this world Or the next, And he knows what is passing Or forever. And yet how strange! He is still afraid of freedom. -Ashtavakra Gita 3:8 |
| * Doamne milueste | |
| Be aware of me always, adore me, make every act an offering to me, and you shall come to me; this I promise; for you are dear to me. Abandon all supports and look to me for protection. I shall purify you from the sins of the past; do not grieve. -Bhagavad Gita 18:65-66 |
Since man is made of clay, he can never be completely pure. Since clay is
basically foul, how can humans escape their basic nature? Purity does not
lie in rituals, nor can human nature be changed by effort. Those who love
God and remain conscious only of their Beloved attain purity.
-Al-Hujwiri, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"
