SPIRITUAL QUOTES

There is nothing outside of yourself, that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker or smarter.
Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing Outside of yourself.

#Miyamoto_Musashi

One of the functions of thought is to be occupied all the time with something. Most of us want to have our minds continually occupied so that we are prevented from seeing ourselves as we actually are. We are afraid to be empty. We are afraid to look at our fears.

#Jiddu_Krishnamurti

One who believes in himself has no need to convince others.

#Laozi

माया महा ठगनी हम जानी।।
तिरगुन फांस लिए कर डोले
बोले मधुरे बानी।।
Maya is the biggest Thug, I have come to know the illusory power of the great Thug.
Her hands Sway Holding a Web-like Trap, She Speaks in a Sweet Voice.

केसव के कमला वे बैठी
शिव के भवन भवानी।।
पंडा के मूरत वे बैठीं
तीरथ में भई पानी।।
Along with Kesava she manifests herself as embodiment of abundance
With Shiva , she is the empress of the worlds.
For Priest she is seated as the idol of worship, and at pilgrimages she manifests herself as the holy water.

योगी के योगन वे बैठी
राजा के घर रानी।।
काहू के हीरा वे बैठी
काहू के कौड़ी कानी।।
For Yogis (hermits) she takes form of a spiritual goal, In the King’s palace she becomes the Queen.
For some she appears as a priceless diamond, while for some others she is worth-less.

भगतन की भगतिन वे बैठी
बृह्मा के बृह्माणी।।
कहे कबीर सुनो भई साधो
यह सब अकथ कहानी।।
For Devotees she’s object of Devotion, With Brahma she becomes his consort.
Kabir says listen oh practicing aspirant, all this is an untold story, which everybody knows.

ਹਿੰਦੂ ਤੁਰਕ ਕੋਊ ਰਾਫਿਜੀ ਇਮਾਮ ਸਾਫੀ ਮਾਨਸ ਕੀ ਜਾਤਿ ਸਬੈ ਏਕੈ ਪਹਚਾਨਬੋ ॥
हिंदू तुरक कोऊ राफजी इमाम साफी मानस की जाति सबै एकै पहिचानबो ॥
Someone is Hindu and someone a Muslim, then someone is Shia, and someone a Sunni, but all the human beings, as a species, are recognized as one and the same.

ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰੀਮ ਸੋਈ ਰਾਜਿਕ ਰਹੀਮ ਓਈ ਦੂਸਰੋ ਨ ਭੇਦ ਕੋਈ ਭੂਲਿ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਮਾਨਬੋ ॥
करता करीम सोई राजक रहीम ओई दूसरो न भेद कोई भूलि भ्रम मानबो ॥
Karta (The Creator) and Karim (Merciful) is the same Lord, Razak (The Sustainer) and Rahim (Compassionate) is the same Lord, there is no other second, therefore consider this verbal distinguishing feature of Hindusim and Islam as an error and an illusion.

ਏਕ ਹੀ ਕੀ ਸੇਵ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਕੋ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਏਕ ਏਕ ਹੀ ਸਰੂਪ ਸਬੈ ਏਕੈ ਜੋਤਿ ਜਾਨਬੋ ॥
एक ही की सेव सभ ही को गुरदेव एक एक ही सरूप सबै एकै जोत जानबो ॥
Thus devote yourself to the one lord, who is the common enlightener of all all have been created in His Image and amongst all comprehend the same one light.

ਦੇਹੁਰਾ ਮਸੀਤ ਸੋਈ ਪੂਜਾ ਔ ਨਿਵਾਜ ਓਈ ਮਾਨਸ ਸਬੈ ਏਕ ਪੈ ਅਨੇਕ ਕੋ ਭ੍ਰਮਾਉ ਹੈ ॥
देहरा मसीत सोई पूजा औ निवाज ओई मानस सबै एक पै अनेक को भ्रमाउ है ॥
The temple and the mosque are the same, there is no difference between a Hindu worship and Muslim prayer all the human beings are the same, but the illusion is of various types.

ਦੇਵਤਾ ਅਦੇਵ ਜਛ ਗੰਧ੍ਰਬ ਤੁਰਕ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਨਿਆਰੇ ਨਿਆਰੇ ਦੇਸਨ ਕੇ ਭੇਸ ਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਉ ਹੈ ॥
देवता अदेव ज्छ गंध्रब तुरक हिंदू निआरे निआरे देसन के भेस को प्रभाउ है ॥
The devi-devtas, demons, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Turks and Hindus… all these are due to the differences of the various garbs of different countries.

#Guru_Gobind_Singh_ji

One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.

#Osho
#Rajneesh

Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun.
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens.
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.

#Rumi

To become learned, each day add something. To become enlightened, each day drop something.

#Laozi

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

#Alexander_pope

It is love alone that leads to right action. What brings order in the world is to love and let love do what it will.

#Jiddu_Krishnamurti

At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.

#Nhat_Hanh

The ultimate meditation is: surrender to reality.
The more you fight, the more you are in conflict with it, the more you will be a loser.
In deep surrender, the ego disappears.
And when the ego is not there, for the first time you become aware of that which has always been there.

#Osho
#Rajneesh

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

#Saint_Augustine

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

#Rumi

It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.

#Sri_Nisargadatta_Maharaj

Developing inner values is much like physical exercise. The more we train our abilities, the stronger they become. The difference is that, unlike the body, when it comes to training the mind, there is no limit to how far we can go.

#Dalai_Lama

You have to grow from the inside out.
None can teach you, none can make you spiritual.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.

#Swami_Vivekananda

Light must come from inside. You cannot ask the darkness to leave;
you must turn on the light.

#Sogyal_Rinpoche

Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!
Why do you stay in prison When the door is so wide open?

#Rumi

From her kings are born" -
