Truth

The truth is open for all who can understand. You must be lamps unto your selves. You must depend upon no eternal refuge, depend on no leader, and depend on no teacher. Look within. You are the Buddha. - The Buddha

Image from the internet

A thousand probabilities do not make one truth. - Italian Proverb

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. - Galileo Galilei

People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up. - George R.R. Martin

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Spurn not at seeming error, but dig below its surface for the truth; and beware of seeming truths that grow on the roots of error. - Martin Farquhar Tupper

The most effectual method of expelling error, is, not to meet it sword in hand, but gradually to instil great truths, with which it cannot easily coexist. - William E. Channing

The truth you believe and cling to, makes you unavailable to hear anything new. - Pema Chodron

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. - The Buddha

Open Your Mind

The country would be far better if the population were half as interested in keeping their minds in as good condition as they tried to keep their bodies. - John Saul

Image from the internet

Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. - Dorthea Brande

The hardest thing in the world to open is a closed mind. - Unknown

Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open. - Lord Thomas Dewar

Open the mind, and the soul will speak. - Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere. - James Russell Lowell

We cannot see things that stare us in the face until the hour comes that the mind is ripened. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Karma

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म, Pāli: kamma) is a Sanskrit term that literally means "action" or "doing".

In America, karma is best expressed in popular phrases like, "what goes around, comes around" and "what you sow, you will reap." Karma has also been referred to as having a "boomerang effect" where the thoughts and actions that you send out into the world turn around and come back at you. Think about that the next time you want to say or do something nasty to someone else! - Carmen Harra

Image from the internet

What is the meaning of karma in Buddhism?
In the Buddhist tradition, karma refers to action driven by intention (cetanā) which leads to future consequences.

How do Buddhists explain karma?
Teachings about karma explain that our past actions affect us, either positively or negatively, and that our present actions will affect us in the future. Buddhism uses an agricultural metaphor to explain how sowing good or bad deeds will result in good or bad fruit.

How long can karma last?
It's a cycle so it just keeps going to the next karma until you become wise and escape this cycle of imbalance. The karma you develop today determines things in your next life. Karma doesn't end. Karma ends when it either (i) ripens and there is an effect, or (ii) is exhausted by prajñā (roughly translated as wisdom, insight, or transcendental understanding) prior to ripening.

Buddha's Teaching

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. - The Buddha

Image from the internet

As the rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all. - Buddha

By oneself is evil done; by oneself is one made impure. By oneself only is evil stopped, by oneself is one made pure. Purity and impurity depend on oneself. No one can purify another. - Buddha

When we feel happy and peaceful, our happiness and peace radiates around us, and others can enjoy it as well. This is called ‘the enjoyment of others of our body of bliss’. - The Buddha

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. - Buddha

Just as the dweller in his body passes through childhood, youth and old age, so at death, he merely passes into another kind of body. The wise are not deceived by that. - The Buddha

A wise man blows off the impurities of his self, as a smith blows off the impurities of silver one by one, little by little and from time to time. - The Buddha

One act of pure love in saving life is greater than spending the whole of one’s time in religious offerings to the gods . . . - The Buddha

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. - The Buddha

Think And Exist

I read, and I think about what I read – whether it makes sense – whether it agrees with logic and common sense. Unfortunately, I am not able to put what I know across eloquently and convincingly. That is why I quote others.

I use this blog to keep what I have learned about spirituality, and for anyone who happens to stumble upon it. If you are also interested in delving deeper into spirituality, I hope the information here could be of some help.

Religion

We diminish this life by preferring the myth of an afterlife. We sacrifice honesty to the maintenance of a lie. Religion demands time, energy, and money, draining valuable resources from the improvement of this world. - Dan Barker

Image from the internet

It has not been the fashion to be scientific about religion, but it is necessary that we should be scientific; it is time that we examined ourselves as to our faith and tried to know what we believe and why, and on what we base our belief. - C. W. Leadbeater

It is hard for many people to give up the religion in which they were born; to admit that their fathers were utterly mistaken, and that the sacred records of their country are but collections of myths and fables. - Robert Green Ingersoll

“Sins” are indispensable to every society organized on an ecclesiastical basis; they are the only reliable weapons of power; the priest lives upon sins; it is necessary to him that there be “sinning. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated. - George Washington

People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. - Dave Barry

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion. - Arthur C. Clarke

The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains. - Abu’l-‘ala’ Al-Ma’arri

Let us feed the hungry. House the homeless. End the wars. Give healthcare to the sick. Empower the weak. Stand up to the system and create a better world for all. Once we have accomplished this, then we can sit around and argue about religion. - Unknown

God

Are you a God-fearing man? That is such a strange phrase. I’ve always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. - Magneto

Image from the internet

Let’s be honest, the idea of a god sending himself to sacrifice himself to save us from himself is a little bit much for any sane, logical person to accept. - Unknown

Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God: for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice and mediocrity and materialism and selfishness that have chilled his faith. - Thomas Merton

God is omnipotent; God is wholly good; and yet evil exists. There seems to be some contradiction between these three propositions, so that if any two of them were true the third would be false. But at the same time all three are essential parts of most theological positions: the theologian it seems, at once must adhere and cannot consistently adhere to all three. - J. L. Mackie

If God’s work in creation is so Great, why does it need redemption? Why does God make such an imperfect creation that needs saving, and how can this be called ‘Great?’ The whole plot – God makes a rotten creation that needs saving, so he sends his only-begotten and much-beloved son to be viciously crucified – is grotesque. What kind of almighty creator chooses this as his Creation? - M. Murdock

Spiritual Love

When you plant a seed of love, it is you that blossoms. - Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

Image from the internet

Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life – not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love. Love is the truth. Love is the light. - Lama Surya Das

Love is absolutely vital for a human life. For love alone can awaken what is divine within you. In love, you grow and come home to your self. When you learn to love and let yourself be love, you come home to the hearth of your own spirit. You are warm and sheltered. - John O’Donohue

Love is how it feels to recognize our essential unity. Awakening to oneness is the experience of Big Love. Knowing you are one with all, you find yourself in love with all. - Timothy Freke

Love is the secret you unmask yourself to find; it is the foundation of the spiritual life, the destination where all roads of the journey lead. - Elizabeth Lesser

Thus when I have to summarize naturalized spirituality in a single phrase, it is this: the thoughtful love of life. - Robert C. Solomon

First, we love within, then we love the world. - Elizabeth Lesser

Zen Sayings

Zen is the Japanese pronunciation of a Chinese word, ch’an which comes from a Sanskrit root meaning ‘thought’, ‘absorption’, or ‘meditaiton’. And meditation is at the heart of Zen, along with an emphasis on self-control and insight.

Zen uses art, koans, and storytelling to provide direct insight, bypassing philosophical constructs and the limitations of language. 

The following Zen sayings sound a bit cryptic. Some might also sound nonsensical. Not all will understand them. If you understand them, you would have an understanding of what is Zen.

Image from the internet

To understand nothing takes time. - Zen Proverb

If you understand, things are just as they are… If you do not understand things are just as they are. - Zen Saying

Knock on the sky and listen to the sound! - Zen Saying

Let go over a cliff, die completely, and then come back to life – after that you cannot be deceived. - Zen Saying

Before enlightenment chop wood carry water. After enlightenment chop wood carry water. – Zen Saying

Breathe deep and let go. - Zen Saying

The obstacle is the path. - Zen Saying

There is nothingness, where comes the dust? - Zen proverb

This is it. But if you fixate on it, It isn’t any more. - Zen Proverb

The Pursuit Of Tao

Tao, (in Chinese philosophy) is the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang and signifying the way, or code of behaviour, that is in harmony with the natural order. The principle of Yin and Yang dictates that there are always two sides to a story and two different ways of seeing a situation. The wise see both and can differentiate what is right.

Image from the internet

In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped. Less and less is done until non-action is achieved. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone. The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering. - Lao Tsu

{There are two paths leading to oneness with the Tao.} The first in the path of acceptance. Affirm everyone and everything. Freely extend your goodwill and virtue in every direction, regardless of circumstances. Embrace all things as part of the Harmonious Oneness, and then you will begin to perceive it. The second path is that of denial. Recognize that everything you see and think is a falsehood, an illusion, a veil over the truth. Peel all the veils away, and you will arrive at the Oneness. Though these paths are entirely different, they will deliver you to the same place: spontaneous awareness of the Great Oneness. - Lao Tzu

Empty the heart, fill the abdomen. - Lao Tzu, the Patriarch of Taoism
Explanation: Relax, and empty your mind and heart of all thoughts. Breathe in gently and deeply, so that the incoming cosmic energy fills the energy centre at your abdomen.

The Universe

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. - C.S. Lewis

Image from the internet

In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link. - Carlos Castaneda

The universe is energy that responds to expectations. - James Redfield

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. - Deepak Chopra

When one tugs at a single thing in Nature, he finds it hitched to the rest of the Universe. - John Muir

The universe is so well balanced that the mere fact that you have a problem also serves as a sign that there is a solution. - Steve Maraboli

There is no reason that the universe should be designed for our convenience. - John D. Barrow

A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory. - Paul Davies

Meditation

Meditation may significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, and enhance peace, self-concept, and well-being. Research is ongoing to better understand the effects of meditaion on health (psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular) and other areas.

Image from the internet

A new study highlights the powerful effects of meditation on the brain. Researchers found that meditating for 27 minutes each day over 8 weeks can physically increase brain size while reducing the size of the stress center, the amygdala.

Meditation encourages mindfulness, focus, and calm awareness. During practice, neural pathways associated with attention, emotional regulation, and self-control strengthen. MRI scans from participants revealed that areas linked to learning, memory, and empathy actually grew in volume. At the same time, the amygdala, which controls fear and stress responses, shrank, showing that meditation helps reduce chronic stress and anxiety.

The benefits extend beyond the brain’s structure. Participants reported feeling calmer, more focused, and emotionally balanced. By regularly practicing meditation, the body’s stress hormones, including cortisol, decrease, promoting better sleep, improved mood, and overall health.

This study shows that small daily habits can create significant changes in the brain. Meditation is a simple, cost-free way to strengthen mental resilience, enhance cognitive function, and manage stress naturally. Just 27 minutes a day could reshape your mind and improve overall well-being.

Truth

Most people don’t really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth. - Unknown

Image from the internet

Self is a fever; self is a transient vision, a dream, but truth is wholesome, truth is sublime, truth is everlasting. There is no immortality except in truth. For truth alone abideth forever. - Unknown

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away. - Elvis Presley

Our minds possess by nature an insatiable desire to know the truth. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

Man is here to search for truth, and to search until he finds it. And he will enjoy it all the more that he has had to search for it. - Reuen Thomas

The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie. - Ann Landers

The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself. - St. Augustine

People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe. - Andy Rooney

Proof is boring. Proof is tiresome. Proof is an irrelevance. People would far rather be handed an easy lie than search for a difficult truth, especially if it suits their own purposes. - Joe Abercrombie

Calm and Steady Mind

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

Image from the internet

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock in a thunderstorm. - Robert Luis Stevenson

One’s mind has a way of making itself up in the background, and it suddenly becomes clear what one means to do. - Arthur C. Benson

Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission. - Arnold Bennett

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. - Plutarch

What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve. - Napoleon Hill

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. - John Milton

It is our mind, and that alone, that chains us or sets us free. - Dilgo Rinpoche 

Within our impure mind the pure one is to be found. - Hui Neng

Teachings of the Buddha

No matter how far out on the sea of suffering we’ve sailed, all that is required is to turn toward awakening. It’s never too late, but it takes that turning, and no one can do that for us. - Bommie Myotai Treace

Image from the internet

Rituals have no efficacy; prayers are vain repetitions; and incantations have no saving power. But to abandon covetousness and hurt, to become free from evil passions and to give up hatred and ill-will, that is the right sacrifice and the true worship.

Seeing that we are better than others is not right. Seeing that we are equal to others is not right. Seeing that we are inferior to others is not right. If we think we are better than others, pride arises. If we think we are equal to others, we fail to show respect and humility at the proper times. If we think we are inferior to others, we get depressed thinking we are inferior, born under a bad sign and so on. Just let all of that go.

The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree. But the Tempter cannot master a man who dwells on the distasteful side of things, self-controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, resolute and full of faith, like the wind cannot move a mountain crag. - The Buddha

Religion

You don’t need religion to have morals. If you can’t determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion. - Unknown

Image from the internet

Over the years my religion has changed and my spirituality has evolved. Religion and spirituality are very different, but people often confuse the two. Some things cannot be taught, but they can be awakened in the heart. Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion; it belongs to everyone. - Muhammad Ali

We keep on being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instils morality. On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case and that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, and perhaps above all, more stupid. - Christopher Hitchens

One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all. - Arthur Clarke

When it comes to religion, we're not two sides of the same coin, and you don't get to put your unreason up on the same shelf with my reason. Your stuff has to go over there, on the shelf with Zeus and Thor and the Kraken, with the stuff that is not evidence-based, stuff that religious people never change their mind about, no matter what happens. - Bill Maher

God

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. - Thomas Jeffeson

Image from the internet

It is not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. It is not necessary to go to church and give money – for many, nature can be a church. Some of the best people in history did not believe in God, while some of the worst deeds were done in His name. - Pope Francis

There are many aspects of the universe that still cannot be explained satisfactorily by science; but ignorance only implies ignorance that may someday be conquered. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. - Isaac Asimov

Theologians and philosophers, who make God the creator of Nature and the architect of the Universe, reveal Him to us as an illogical and unbalanced Being. They declare He is benevolent because they are afraid of Him, but they are forced to admit the truth that His ways are vicious and beyond understanding. They attribute a malignity to Him seldom to be found in any human being. And that is how they get human beings to worship Him. For our miserable species would never lavish worship on a just and benevolent God from whom they had nothing to fear. - Anatole France

Enlightenment

Image from the internet

Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change. - Andrew Cohen

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. - Buddha

Just as water cools both good and bad and washes away all impurity and dust, in the same way you should develop thoughts of love to friend and foe alike, and having reached perfection in love, you will attain enlightenment. - The Buddha

Spiritual Practices

If your spiritual practice and the demands of your everyday life are not in harmony, it means there's something wrong with the way you are practicing. Your practice should satisfy your dissatisfied mind while providing solutions to the problems of everyday life. If it doesn't, check carefully to see what you really understand about your spiritual practice. - Unknown

Image from the internet

The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. - Atisha

Listen to the wind, it talks. Listen to the silence, it speaks. Listen to your heart, it knows. - Native American Proverb

Just as a reservoir is of little use when the whole countryside is flooded, scriptures are of little use to the illumined man or woman who sees the Tao everywhere. - Unknown

Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself. - Marcus Aurelius

Let the moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the surface of your being. - Rumi

Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. - Jedi Master Yoda

When emotional thoughts such as pride, hatred, jealousy arise, there is no place for us to practice patience. - Unknown

The emphasis in spiritual training is on learning how to listen deeply and not miss that small voice in the midst of the many louder voices and stimulations in human society. - Unknown
