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.
.: R U M I :.
If God's secrets are unknown, don't despair.
Behind the mystery-curtain is a love-affair.
.: H A F I Z :.
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
.: D a w n a M a r k o v a :.
Ours is a religion of Love,
and yet it is not a religion
in the way that you understand religion.
We do not do our practices in order to come to realize God,
but rather we accept the Unity of God first
and then everything follows from that
If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.
.:.
Those who have awakened live in a constant state of amazement.
.:.
My religion is simple; my religion is kindness.
.: H.H. the D A L A I L A M A :.
Ultimately what we're touching is the invisible, all-pervasive Intelligence that surrounds us and penetrates us. It is grooming us to be able to tolerate its splendor. It can't just reveal itself openly because we would be forfeited; we'd never know what hit us.
