Quotes to Ponder

     Some weighty quotes are, like open questions, to be pondered perhaps over a lifetime ...

     "Nature delights in discovering herself by manifesting in infinite variations of phenomena." Source?

    “You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.
     An intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person.
     But a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself.
     What an amazing miracle.”
Eckhart Tolle

     “Life or the source of life becomes conscious of itself through the individual. Human beings have an immense part to play through the recognition and conjoining of the opposites. The significance of a human life is potentially amazing in both its light and its darkness. It can be amazingly enlightening and amazingly darkening.”
Adyashanti

     “Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,

      Love is knowing I am everything,

      and between the two my life moves.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj

      "There are only two ways to live your life.
       One is as though nothing is a miracle.
       The other is as though everything is a miracle."
Albert Einstein
 

     "There never was a time when you or I did not exist. 
       Nor will there be any future when we shall cease to be."
Bhagavad Gita

Love Itself

at some point
we perceive
that we lack perfect love

we become
consciously
hungry

at some point
we realize
that we are perfect love


 

     "The mind creates the abyss 
and the heart crosses it."                               Nisargadatta


     "I was born 
when all I once feared
I could love.”                                                 Rabia Basri




     “I would define love very simply: as a potent blend of openness and warmth, which allows us to make real contact, to take delight in and appreciate, and to be at one with – ourselves, others, and life itself.
     ... love is the central force that holds our whole life together and allows it to function."
      Welwood J. "Perfect love, imperfect relationships. Healing the wound of the heart." Trumpeter, 2006.
