Ved Vyasa (The Bhagavad Gita), 1500 BC
Perform All work carefully, guided by compassion ------ I am Time, the great destroyer of the world. ------ "The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar - this kind of happiness arises from the serenity of one's own mind."
Chanakya, 350 BC
As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it. ------ "God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple." --------
Nagarjuna, 150 BC
If you desire ease, forsake learning. If you desire learning, forsake ease. How can the man at his ease acquire knowledge, And how can the earnest student enjoy ease? --------- The science, which teaches arts and handicrafts Is merely science for the gaining of a living; But the science which teaches deliverance from worldly existence, Is not that the true science?" ---------- There is pleasure when a sore is scratched, But to be without sores is more pleasurable still. Just so, there are pleasures in worldly desires, But to be without desires is more pleasurable still.
Bodhidharma, 500 AD
Those who worship don't know, and those who know don't worship. --------- At every moment where language can't go, that's your mind. ---------- To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.
Adi Shankara, 788 AD
The Soul appears to be finite because of ignorance. When ignorance is destroyed the Self which does not admit of any multiplicity truly reveals itself by itself: like the Sun when the clouds pass away. ---------- Just as the fire is the direct cause for cooking, so without Knowledge no emancipation can be had. Compared with all other forms of discipline Knowledge of the Self is the one direct means for liberation.
Kabir, 1440 AD
The river that flows in you also flows in me. ----------- Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours. you will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables. When you really look for me, you will see me instantly — you will find me in the tiniest house of time. Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
Kabir, 1440 AD
Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream. Only sayings of the wise will remain. --------- ...But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God. ---------- Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone. ---------- As long as I live, so long do I learn. --------- One man may read the Bhagavata by the light of a lamp, and another may commit a forgery by that very light; but the lamp is unaffected. The sun sheds its light on the wicked as well as on the virtuous.
Swami Vivekananda
In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart. ----------- In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path ----------- The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.
Sri Aurobindo
True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become. -------- When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence. -------- The great are strongest when they stand alone, A God-given might of being is their force.
Ramana Maharshi
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside. --------- Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world. --------- Your duty is to be and not to be this or that. 'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up in the words 'Be still'. What does stillness mean? It means destroy yourself. Because any form or shape is the cause for trouble. Give up the notion that 'I am so and so'. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that?
Paramahansa Yogananda
Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become. -------- There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you. --------- You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Osho Rajneesh
Sadness is silent, it is yours. It is coming because you are alone. It is giving you a chance to go deeper into your aloneness. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness
