"I am not the body,
Nor is the body mine.
I am awareness itself."
When you know this,
You have no thought
For what you have done
Or left undone.
You become one,
Perfect and indivisible.
-Ashtavakra Gita
Children tell stories,
but in their tales are enfolded
many a mystery and moral lesson.
Though they may relate many ridiculous things,
keep looking in those ruined places for a treasure.
-Mathnawi
The moment we are enlightened within, we go beyond the voidness of a world confronting us.
-The Buddha
You seek knowledge from books, ridiculous!
You seek pleasure from sweets, ridiculous!
You are the sea of knowledge hidden in a dewdrop;
you are the universe hidden in a body three yards long.
-Mathnawi
Peaceful be heaven, peaceful the earth, peaceful the broad space between. Peaceful for us be the running waters, peaceful the plants and herbs! Peaceful to us be the signs of the future, peaceful what is done and undone, peaceful to us be what is and what will be. May all to us be gracious!
-Atharva Veda
Whoever lives a godly life may become, not alone his own redeemer, but also in some degree the redeemer of the world.
-Hyman Enelow
