If your dream brings you joy, take it as a blessing from your Lord. Express gratitude and share it with others. However, if it incites fear, then remember it is but an assault from Satan. Seek refuge in Allah from its evil and do not mention it to anyone, for that shall annul any harm intended to you.
-The Prophet Muhammad
From passion arises sorrow and from passion arises fear. If a man is free from passion, he is free from fear and sorrow.
-The Buddha
Even when he is still,
The selfish man is busy.
Even when he is busy,
The selfless man is still.
-Ashtavakra Gita
Allah accepts repentance, as long as it is not at the time of death.
-The Prophet Muhammad
When you are completely clear, there is no subjective distortion; when you are completely pure, there is true perception. But even if you are thus through and through, this is still now the transcendental key. When the wind and waves have died out, the ocean of mind is as is; when you get to the bottom of the ocean of mind, for the first time you see the black pearl.
-Tzu-te
If sparks fly,
I shall think my thirst and hunger quelled.
If the skies tear down,
I shall think them pouring for my bath.
If a hillside slides on me
I shall think it flower for my hair.
O lord white as jasmine, if my head falls from my shoulders
I shall think it your offering.
-Mahadeviyakka
Is not the soul a guest in our body, deserving of our kind hospitality? Today it is here, tomorrow it is gone.
-Rabbi Hillel
