Universe

It was as if the universe itself stretched out its finger to touch me. And in touching me, singling me out, it only heightened my awareness of my own insignificance. That was somehow very comforting. When you confront the absolute indifference of magnitudes and vistas so overwhelming, the swollen ego of your own self-important suffering is diminished. - Joan D. Vinge

Image from the internet

Here we are in this wholly fantastic universe with scarcely a clue as to whether our existence has any real significance. - E. F. Schumacher

I know that much of the structure and plan of the universe is beyond my understanding and not at all similar to anything of our earthly world that I have experienced so far. I marvel at the intellect and attention to detail, the precision manifested by the workings of this great and often unseen force of which we are all a part. - Rosemary Altea

We live in a changing universe, and few things are changing faster than our conception of it. - Timothy Ferris

The basic laws of the Universe are simple, but because our senses are limited, we can’t grasp them. There is a pattern in creation. - Albert Einstein

It is clear that there is no classification of the Universe that is not arbitrary and full of conjectures. The reason for this is very simple: we do not know what kind of thing the universe is. - Jorge Luis Borges

In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time. - Edward P. Tryon

We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today we no longer regard the universe as the cause of our own undeserved troubles but perhaps, on the contrary, as the last refuge from the mismanagement of our earthly affairs. - Rudolf Arnheim

Meditation Practise

Meditation is a practice in which an individual train his or her attention and awareness, to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.

Image from the internet

Everyone should take some time off to meditate. We may never achieve the state of ‘awareness’ that monks and mystics reached but still, meditation clears our mind, giving us inner peace and inner calm. Through meditation, we will have a clearer view of the whole picture, of life. This will help us deal better with the realities of/in life.

However, there are a few essential things to be remembered: The first is a relaxed state - no fight, no control, no concentration. The second is watchfulness - witness whatever is going on inside of you. And the third is, don't have any judgment or evaluation about it. Just be a watcher.

Simply put, you just sit silently and witness your mind-process, while keeping your attention on the breath. Nothing needs to be done. Just be a witness, an observer, a watcher, looking at the traffic of the mind - thoughts passing by, desires, memories, dreams, fantasies. Simply stand aloof, cool, with no condemnation, no evaluations. Once you get the knack of it, it is the most simple thing in the world.

A time comes when you don't have to use meditation techniques any more. You just sit down and you are non-existence itself. - Frederick Lenz

You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy; then you should sit for an hour. - Old Zen saying

When the mind is sluggish or depressed and weary, that is no time for cultivation tranquillity and meditation. As well might you hope to make a fire by piling wet grass upon it. - Unknown

The Truth

Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance. Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is. Truth is universal. Perception of truth is not.

Image from the internet

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home. - John Stuart Mill

All great truths are simple in final analysis, and easily understood; if they are not, they are not great truths. - Napoleon Hill

While we are examining into everything we sometimes find truth where we least expected it. - Marcus Fabius Quintilian

Truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but, in the end, there it is. - Sir Winston Churchill

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth. - Lao Tzu

If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. - Zen Master Seng Tsan

A truth that disheartens because it is true is of more value than the most stimulating of falsehoods. - Maurice Maeterlinck

Minds Are Like...

Your mind is like a garden. Tend it well by filling it with positive, encouraging, and faith-building thoughts throughout the day. Disorder sets in when the garden is not tended to for some time; the same goes for our mind if we neglect it too long. - Unknown

Image from the internet

A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. - James Allen

As an orchard when manured produces pleasant trees and luscious fruit, so does a cultivated mind produce pure thoughts and noble actions. - William Scott Downey

No mind can run continually and remain effective. Remember, even a paddy field needs a good rest after a harvest in order to produce quality crops in the future. - Unknown

The mind is nothing less than a garden of inestimable value which man should strive to cultivate. - William Scott Downey

Your mind is a magnet. If you think of blessings you attract blessings; and if you think of problems you attract problems. Always cultivate good thoughts and always remain positive and optimistic. - Unknown

Minds are like flowers, they only open when the time is right. - Stephen Richards

Compassion

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. - Dalai Lama

Image from the internet

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. - Steve Maraboli

Compassion will no longer be seen as a spiritual luxury for a contemplative few; rather it will be viewed as a social necessity for the entire human family. - Duane Elgin

Compassion – that's the one thing no machine ever had. Maybe it's the one thing that keeps man ahead of them. - D. C. Fontana

Grief for the calamity of another is pity, and arises from the imagination that the like calamity may befall himself; and, therefore, it is called compassion, or in the phrase of the present time a fellow-feeling. - Thomas Hobbbes

If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void. - Karen Armstrong

Let our compassion express itself in efforts to bring the erring back to sacred principles, and if they persist, let us pity them the more for a blindness so fatal to themselves. - S. E. D. Charnage

Attachment / Non Attachment

If a man cares not if things are thus and not thus, then provided he has no harsh thoughts, he has indeed found happiness. He has certain security for he has found freedom from grief and care. Truly, he has overcome the world. - Unknown

Image from the internet

One of the best ways to overcome possessive-attachment to loved ones is to reflect on impermanence. Everything changes, nothing lasts. One day death will separate us from the people we love. Separation could occur even before that if one of us is posted overseas or if we quarrel and come to hate each other. The more attached we are the more pain and stress we will suffer at this separation. Therefore it is wise to give up attachment. But that doesn’t mean giving up love! We can love people without being attached to them by living with the awareness of our inevitable separation. We can love and care for them now and at the same time be ready to say goodbye to them when the time comes. - Unknown

If you see things with real insight, then there is no stickiness in your relationship to them. They come – pleasant and unpleasant – you see them and there is no attachment. They come and they pass. Even if the worst kinds of defilement come up, such as greed or anger, there's enough wisdom to see their impermanent nature and allow them to just fade away. If you react to them, however, by liking or disliking, that isn't wisdom. You're only creating more suffering for yourself. - Unknown

Once you understand non-self, then the burden of life is gone. You'll be at peace with the world. When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness and we can truly be happy. Learn to let go without struggle, simply let go, to be just as you are – no holding on, no attachment, free.

It is in the nature of things, however dear they may be to us, that we must separate from them, leave and depart from them. Anything that is born, that is formed and brought into being, contains within itself the qualities naturally associated with its own dissolution.

Religion

[A cosmic religion] has no dogma other than teaching man that the Universe is rational and that his highest destiny is to ponder it and co-create with its laws.. - Albert Einstein

Image from the internet

Excessive concern with religion seems to me a last resort for people who have been exhausted by life. - Naguib Mahfouz

Anyone who can worship a trinity and insist that his religion is a monotheism can believe anything. - Robert Heinlein

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. - Albert Einstein

That religion may have served some necessary function for us in the past does not preclude the possibility that it is now the greatest impediment to our building a global civilization. - Sam Harris

Religious beliefs prepare a kind of landscape of images, an illusory milieu favourable to every hallucination and every delirium. - Michel Foucault

Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise. - James Madison

Actions inspired by fear of future punishment or hope of future reward are entirely selfish and unworthy of religion. - James Platt

An immoral character, glossed with religious pretension, is like a rotten egg with an Easter colouring. - Lewis F. Korns

God

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes. - Gene Roddenberry

Image from the internet

They that worship God merely from fear, Would worship the devil too, if he appear. - Thomas Fuller

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. - Susan B. Anthony

The man who counts on the aid of a god deserves the help he doesn't get. - Glen Cook

Gods are sensitive things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. - Chapman Cohen

I don't understand worshipping a god who denigrates women and whose 'true believers' feel it's their right to look down on anyone who doesn't think exactly as they do. - P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast

If God truly existed, wouldn’t there be just one religion? - Unknown

Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity? - Arthur Clarke

What was God doing before the divine creation? - Stephen Hawking

If there is a God, the phrase that must disgust him is – holy war. - Steve Allen

Since dictating the Bible, and hiring a perfect race of ministers to explain it, God has never done much but creep around and try to catch us disobeying it. - Sinclair Lewis

Atheism

Atheism is not a religion. One does not convert to Atheism. One simply realises everything they’ve been told about god is bullxxit.

Everyone starts out being an atheist. No one is born with belief in anything. Infants are atheists until they are indoctrinated.

Image from the internet

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. - Carl Sagan

The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more. - Ayaan Hirsiali

The philosophy of Atheism represents a concept of life without any metaphysical Beyond or Divine Regulator. It is the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities, as against an unreal world, which, with its spirits, oracles, and mean contentment has kept humanity in helpless degradation. - Emma Goldman

The Spiritual Path

As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be found – in himself. - Erich Fromm

Image from the internet

No matter how old a person is or how close the get to the door of exit, the calling keeps calling. A person can awaken at any point along the path of life. - Michael Meade

Patience is an essential element of spiritual path. - Unknown

If your path is difficult, it is because of your high calling. - Unknown

The Path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things that you thought you understood and see deeper and deeper truths. - Unknown

The spiritual path is not a solo endeavour. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free her/himself is a delusion. We are in it together and the company of spiritual friends helps us realize our interconnectedness. - Tara Brach

There are two rules on the spiritual path. Begin and continue. - Sufi Saying

What is common to all paths that are spiritual is, of course, the Spirit-breath, life energy, that is why all true paths are essentially one path, because there is only one Spirit, one breath, one life, one energy in the universe. It belongs to none of us and all of us. We all share it. Spiritually does not make up otherworldly; it renders us more fully alive. - Matthew Fox

Zen Sayings

The persurance of Zen is to discover a source of happiness and meaning beyond worldly pursuits and to achieve a state of deep peace and liberation.

Image from the internet

Zen is a double-edged sword, killing words and thoughts, yet at the same time, giving them life. Although beyond human intellect and philosophy, Zen is their root and source. - Masao Abe

Quiet the mind and the soul will speak. - Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavat

Whisper to Trees. Laugh with Flowers. Sing with Birds. And Breathe. - Unknown

Sometimes, simply by sitting, the soul collects wisdom. - Unknown

You wander from room to room hunting for the diamond necklace that is already around your neck! - Rumi

Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the Gate. - Huang Po

I have lived with several Zen masters – all of them cats. - Eckhart Tolle

Laozi aka Lao Tzu

Laozi, also romanized as Lao Tzu was a Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, one of the foundational texts of Taoism. The name, literally meaning 'Old Master', was likely intended to portray an archaic anonymity. A central figure in Chinese culture, Laozi is generally considered the founder of Taoism.

Image from the internet

Understand this if nothing else: spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution. - Lao Tzu

Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world. - Lao Tzu

Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window, One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows. - Lao Tzu

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. - Lao Tzu

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. - Lao Tzu

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. - Lao Tzu

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. - Lao Tzu

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream. - Lao Tzu

The Universe

It is especially important in this discussion to recognize the unity of the total process, from that first unimaginable moment of cosmic emergence through all its subsequent forms of expression until the present. This unbreakable bond of relatedness that makes of the whole a universe becomes increasingly apparent to scientific observation, although this bond ultimately escapes scientific formulation or understanding. In virtue of this relatedness, everything is intimately present to everything else in the universe. Nothing is completely itself without everything else. This relatedness is both spatial and temporal. However distant in space or time, the bond of unity is functionally there. The universe is a communion and a community. We ourselves are that communion become conscious of itself. - Thomas Berry

Image from the internet

Think of this random Universe where everything is possible. The organizational skills belong to Law and Attraction. If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction to do the organization and the managing, then you can spend your time doing the things that please you. - Abraham Hicks

Everything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you. - Douglas Adams

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing. - Alan Watts

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. - Marcus Aurelius

Look inside yourself and you can see the universe. - Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson

You as Universal Consciousness are manifesting yourself as everything, but not split up into being an observer of your display. The mirror is not experiencing it's reflections, the mirror is itself reflections. - Jackson Peterson

Meditation

Although one can meditate in a group, meditation is still a very individual and private activity. When you close your eyes to meditate, you are on your own. In fact, it might be better to meditate on your own, as there would be less distractions.

Image from the internet

Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living. - Elizabeth Lesser

Sitting silently, one should experience quietly all that is happening around and do nothing else. You are hearing sounds, listen to them silently; a bird is singing, listen to it silently; the breath is moving in and out, go on watching it silently – nothing else has to be done. - Osho

I believe that reading and writing are the most nourishing forms of meditation anyone has so far found. By reading the writings of the most interesting minds in history, we meditate with our own minds and theirs as well. This to me is a miracle. - Kurt Vonnegut

One practice I rely on all the time is basic meditation which allows me to strip away the noise. It’s like the old-fashioned dial on the radio, where you were getting static and then you found that clear, sweet spot on the dial, where the music would come through. That's what meditation is for me. Dialling out the static, the noise, the anxiety, the fear, and coming into a place that's deep and quiet. It's like dropping into a well of inspiration and wisdom. - Elizabeth Lesdser

Truth

If you want to assert a truth, first make sure it’s not just an opinion that you desperately want to be true. - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Image from the internet

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. - Mahatma Gandhi

Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, the mind overlooks the plain truth of the moment. - Lao Tzu

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable, must be the truth. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Questions are key to door of truth. - Charlie Chan

Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. - Mahatma Gandhi

The words of truth are always paradoxical. - Lao Tzu

A wise man always seeks the light of truth and prefers the company of those who know the value of truth to those who trample it under their feet. - Unknown

Calm The Mind

A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does Self-awareness effect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady Self-awareness inner energies wake up and work miracles without effort on your part. - Nisargadatta Maharaj

Image from the internet

When our mind is calm, it reflects reality accurately, without distortion. Breathing, sitting, and walking with mindfulness calms disturbing mental formations such as anger, fear, and despair, allowing us to see reality more clearly. - Thich Nhat Hanh

When mind is still, then Truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence. - Sri Aurobindo

At certain times, a silent mind is very important, but ‘silent’ does not mean closed. The silent mind is an alert, awakened mind; a mind seeking the nature of reality. - Lama Yeshe

Do not let trifles disturb your tranquillity of mind. The little pin-pricks of daily life when dwelt upon and magnified, may do great damage, but if ignored or dismissed from thought, will disappear from inanition. - Grenville Kleiser 

Even when in the midst of disturbance, the stillness of the mind can offer sanctuary. - Stephen Richards

If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear. - Unknown

Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world. - Hans Margolius

If we can learn to make the mind still, it will be the greatest help to the world. - Unknown

Compassion

We have to make mistakes, its how we learn compassion for others. - Curtis Sittenfeld

Image from the internet

When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do. - Rachel Naomi Remen

It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is these two blessed things that can begin to heal all broken hearts. - Steve Maraboli

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. - Albert Schweitzer

There is no small kindness; every compassionate act makes large the world. - Mary Anne Radmacher

Compassion crowns the soul with its truest victory. - Aberjhani

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - Dalai Lama

Buddhism

If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism. - Albert Einstein

Image from the internet

The starting point for Buddhism is not dogma or belief in the supernatural, but the fact of the existence of sorrow and suffering, not merely the sorrow and suffering of the poor and the wretched, but also of those that live in the lap of luxury. Its goal is not heaven or a union with God or Brahman, but to find a refuge for man from the miseries of the world in the safe haven of an intellectual and ethical life through self-conquest and self-culture. - Pokala Lakshmi Narasu

The teachings on love given by the Buddha are clear, scientific, and applicable… Love, compassion, joy, and equanimity are the very nature of an enlightened person. They are the four aspects of true love within ourselves and within everyone and everything. - Thich Nhat Hanh

People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena… We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness. - Thich Nhat Hanh

The secret of Buddhism is to remove all ideas, all concepts, in order for the truth to have a chance to penetrate, to reveal itself. - Thich Nhat Hanh

Our egoistic ideas are delusion, covering our Buddha Nature. - Shunryu Suzuki

Religion

Isn’t it a remarkable coincidence. Almost everyone has the same religion as their parents? And it always just Happens to be the right religion. Religions run in families. If we’d been brought up in ancient Greece we would all be worshipping Zeus and Apollo. If we have been born Vikings we would be worshipping Wotan, and Thor. How does this come about? Through childhood indoctrination. - Richard Dawkins

Image from the internet

Since it is no longer permissible to disparage any single faith or creed, let us start disparaging all of them. To be clear: an ideology is a belief system with an inadequate basis in reality; a religion is a belief system with no basis in reality whatever. Religious belief is without reason and without dignity, and its record is near-universally dreadful. - Martin Amis

Most religions believe that by crying, "Lord, Lord!" often enough, they can contrive to enter the kingdom of heaven. A flock of trained parrots could just as readily cry the same thing, with just as little chance of success. - Grandier

I'm for decency – period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday – cash me out. - Frank Sinatra

The trick to good marketing is to make the targets feel incomplete without your product. Herein lies one of the secrets to religion’s success. - Michael Sherlock

Having faith in a thing does not make that thing true. Your faith doesn’t even make it ‘probably’ true. Having faith has no weight on truth at all. Having faith simply means you will believe in a thing even if it’s not true.

The discoveries of science have proved that the opinions concerning a firmament above, and a flat earth beneath, are completely inaccurate; but faith delights more in sublimity than truth; it soars far above science in its discoveries, and holds accuracy in contempt. - Ethan Allen

The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation, and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be believed only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance, called faith. - Robert G. Ingersoll
