“Do not criticize any of the higher or lower vehicles. They are identical in being the path to be journeyed, just like the steps on a staircase.
Do not criticize other teachings and do not disparage people. All the teachings are ultimately indivisible, like the taste of salt.
In general, all sentient beings are by their very nature spontaneously perfect buddhas. They possess the essence of enlightenment.

Whatever actions you engage in, do not do anything nondharmic that fails to become the accumulation of merit and wisdom.
Do not be attached to anything. Attachment itself is the root of bondage.
Do not desire anything other than omniscient buddhahood and benefiting sentient beings.

You cannot know another person unless you can perceive with superknowledge. So do not criticize others.
Do not examine other people’s faults or delusions.
Do not examine the limitations of others. Examine how you can change your own.

Do not examine the shortcomings of others but examine your own shortcomings.
The greatest of evils is to hold religious prejudice and to criticize other people without knowing their mind. So give up prejudice as if it were poison.”

~Padmasambhava

"I have no serious objection to a finite god, or gods, distinct from men and things. In fact, personally, I believe in them all, and admit them to possess inconceivable though not infinite power."  --Aleister Crowley

You were born together, and together you will always be.

You will stay together, even when white wings of death scatter your days.

Yes, you will be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let them be free spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but do not do the shackles of love. Let this be a rather rough sea, waving between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Let you give their own bread for each other, but do not bite off one piece.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each other go to alone, and because each of the strings of a lute itself, but together they sound in a melody.

Give your hearts, but not in the storage each other. Because only the hand of Life can hold your heart.

And be together, but not too together: Because the column in the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadows.

"Love and Marriage" Kahlil Gibran.

Leave your front door and your back door open.
Allow your thoughts to come and go.
Just don’t serve them tea.

"Only human beings have come to a point where they no longer know why they exist. They don't use their brains and they have forgotten the secret knowledge of their bodies, their senses, or their dreams. They don't use the knowledge the spirit has put into every one of them; they are not even aware of this, and so they stumble along blindly on the road to nowhere -- a paved highway which they themselves bulldoze and make smooth so that they can get faster to the big empty hole which they'll find at the end, waiting to swallow them up. It's a quick comfortable superhighway, but I know where it leads to. I've seen it. I've been there in my vision and it makes me shudder to think about it."  --the Lakota shaman Lame Deer

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

~Rumi

Truly there is no cause for you to be miserable and unhappy. You yourself impose limitations on your true nature of infinite Being and then weep that you are but a finite creature. Then you take up this or that sadhana to transcend the nonexistent limitations. But if your sadhana itself assumes the existence of the limitations, how can it help you to transcend them? Hence I say know that you are really the infinite, pure Being, the Self Absolute. You are always that Self and nothing but that Self. Therefore, you can never be really ignorant of the Self; your ignorance is merely a formal ignorance... Know then that true Knowledge does not create a new Being for you; it only removes your "ignorant ignorance." Bliss is not added to your nature; it is merely revealed as your true and natural state, eternal and imperishable. The only way to be rid of your grief is to know and be the Self.
-Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi

"There is no energy more powerful than love. Love creates miracles, heals all wounds, and purifies all lower energies. You cannot give love away, for the more you give, the more you will receive in return.”

“Every act of kindness and love raises the vibration of the entire universe.”

(Not sure who said these)

“He who is filled with love, is filled with God himself.”

Saint Augustine

Paramahansa Yogananda on Meditation:

"Meditation utilizes concentration in its highest form. Concentration consists in freeing the attention from distractions and in focusing it on any thought in which one may be interested. Meditation is that special form of concentration in which the attention has been liberated from restlessness and is focused on God. Meditation, therefore, is concentration used to know God."

"Meditation is the science of reuniting the soul with Spirit. The soul, descending from God into flesh, manifests its consciousness and life force through seven chakras, or centres of light, in man's cerebrospinal axis."

"Spiritual advancement is not to be measured by one's display of outward powers, but solely by the depth of his bliss in meditation."

"Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche always used to emphasize the importance of unifying the practice and your life. He said, "It is not when things go well that you can judge a true practitioner. But when adverse circumstances arise, then you can clearly see the shortcomings of the practice." Mind training should become an integral part of your ongoing experience, a practice that you can apply whatever the conditions. When this happens, difficult circumstances will not dishearten you, nor will favorable ones elevate you. Check repeatedly to see whether your way of being and the teachings have become one, and whether you can apply them in any situation."

~ Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

Quote:

How could it occur to anyone to demonstrate that God exists unless one has already allowed Himself to ignore Him? A king's existence is demonstrated by way of subjection and submissiveness. Do you want to try and demonstrate that the king exists? Will you do so by offering a string of proofs, a series of arguments? No. If you are serious, you will demonstrate the king's existence by your submission, by the way you live. And so it is with demonstrating God's existence. It is accomplished not by proofs but by worship. Any other way is but a thinker's pious bungling.
