Mercury has cast aside
The signs of intellectual pride,
Freely offers thee the soul:
Art thou noble to receive?
Canst thou give or take the whole,
Nobly promise and believe?
Then thou wholly human art,
A spotless, radiant, ruby heart,
And the golden chain of love
Has bound thee to the realm above.
~Leila

Sarada Devi,

As you smell the fragrance of a flower by handing it or the smell of sandalwood by rubbing it against a stone, so you obtain spiritual awakening by constantly thinking of God.

http://www.azquotes.com/author/22990-Sarada_Devi

Neem Karoli Baba

All action is prayer. All trees are desire-fulfilli ng. All water is the Ganga. All land is Varanasi. Love everything.

Love is the strongest medicine.

Love all, serve all, feed all.

Meditate like Christ...He lost himself in love.

http://www.azquotes.com/author/38543-Neem_Karoli_Baba

Do your best and then relax. Let things go on in a natural way, rather than force them.

http://www.azquotes.com/author/16067-Paramahansa_Yogananda

are quite a nice trio that covers so many topics. . . in the practice of sanatana-dharma (the way of the soul), these each are a wonderful source of spiritual wisdom..  a few simple ones, especially truthfulness, kindness, service and selfless love to others, are captured and passed on, shared with beautiful simplicity, and effect - the result of a few thousands of years (and who knows how much more) effort of carefully learning about the soul and God, and how to share these in the best way -- student / teacher, Guru to student - yet even there, as Neem Karoli Baba says - it is not necessary to meet the Guru on the physical plane - as the guru is not external.

And the fierce, vital emphasis on thinking for oneself, not accepting things until they are understood with heart and mind, can be seen. . Vivekananda, whose guru was such a great devotee of God, and also who wrote of devotion very nicely, said,

'Otherwise, it's better not to believe. It's better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.'

as well as, 'Superstition is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.'.. 'If superstition enters, the brain is gone.'

Mirra Alfassa came to mind as well -

'Anytime two argue, always both are wrong.'

And especially the point about never causing harm, I believe that was in there as well.

Namaste!

We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make the world.  Speak or act with an impure mind and trouble will follow you, as the wheel follows the ox that draw the cart.

We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make the world.  Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable.

How can a troubled mind understand the way?

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded.

But once mastered no one cannot help you as much, not even your father or mother.

-Gautama Buddha

From Chap 1

“God reveals Himself to a devotee who feels drawn to Him by the combined force of these three attractions: the attraction of worldly possessions for the worldly man, the child’s attraction for its mother, and the husband’s attraction for the chaste wife. If one feels drawn to Him by the combined force of these three attractions, then through it one can attain Him.

“The point is, to love God even as the mother loves her child, the chaste wife her husband, and the worldly man his wealth. Add together these three forces of love, these three powers of attraction, and give it all to God. Then you will certainly see Him.

From Ch. 3

(To Vidyasagar) “The activities that you are engaged in are good. It is very good if you can perform them in a selfless spirit, renouncing egotism, giving up the idea that you are the doer. Through such action one develops love and devotion to God, and ultimately realizes Him.

“The more you come to love God, the less you will be inclined to perform action. When the daughter-in-law is with child, her mother-in-law gives her less work to do. As time goes by she is given less and less work. When the time of delivery nears, she is not allowed to do any work at all, lest it should hurt the child or cause difficulty at the time of birth."

-Sri Ramakrishna

The mystery does not get clearer by repeating the question,
nor is it bought with going to amazing places.

Until you've kept your eyes
and your wanting still for fifty years,
you don't begin to cross over from confusion.

tho i feel something may'v been lost in translation, a bit lovely;

Buddha in Glory

Kernel of all kernels, heart of all hearts,
almond, that encloses itself and sweetens –
this universe as far as every star
is your ripening flesh: all hail.

Behold, you feel how nothing more clings to you:
your shell is in the unending,
and there the heavy juice halts and yearns.
And from beyond a brightness helps it,

for all above become your Suns,
full and glowing, turning round you.
But in you is already begun
what will outlast the Suns.

R.M. Rilke

Édouard Manet


On being a painter:

'No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.'

On staying off task:

'You must always remain master of the situation and do what you please. No school tasks, ah, no! No tasks!'

On craft:

'It is not enough to know your craft – you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.'


(not on spirituality per se , but they seemed on key)
