A thread to post your favourite spiritual quotes
I'll start with this quote from Gautama Buddha, he is said to have spoken these words just as death was approaching...
"Be a light unto yourself, betake yourselves to no external refuge. Hold fast to the Truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves."
Another quote attributed as being the last words of Gautama Buddha was...
"All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive for your own liberation with earnestness!"

Its hard to put it into words but i feel its saying go within yourself, thats how i feel it anyway, the words dont logically make any sense at all, but when i read them i can feel what they mean, the you within you, the eye of the eye, InI

"Awareness is not on the other side of working through some process. Awareness is that in which the idea of working through some process to get somewhere arises & is perceived"

An extract from Meister Eckhart's 'Poverty Sermon', he's referring to poverty as a spirtiual attainment, not the poverty meaning lack of material things, but rather the lack of personal will & desire.
"So long as a person has his own wish in him to fulfill even the ever-beloved will of God, if that is still a matter of his will, then this person does not yet possess the poverty of which we want to speak. Indeed, this person then still has a will with which he or she wants to satisfy God's will, and that is not the right poverty. For a human being to possess true poverty, he or she must be as free of his or her created will as they were when they did not yet exist. Thus I say to you in the name of divine truth, as long as you have the will, even the will to fulfill God's will, and as long as you have the desire for eternity and for God, to this very extent you are not properly poor, for the only one who is a poor person is one who wills nothing and desires nothing."

There are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is the same as that of the religious fanatics, and it springs from the same source. They are creatures who can't hear the music of the spheres - Einstein
We rarely hear the inward music, but we’re all dancing to it nevertheless - Rumi
I saw you and became empty. This emptiness, more beautiful than existence, it obliterates existence, and yet when it comes, existence thrives and creates more existence! ... To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness. Rumi
