morning Tanya - here's a little inspiration

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."


"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness…"




- Dalai Lama

Sanskrit quote:
Contentment is the highest gain,
Good Company the highest course,
Enquiry the highest wisdom,
Peace the highest enjoyment.

Sanskrit quote:
Where women are worshipped, goddesses dwell.
Where they are not worshipped, all actions are fruitless.

Sanskrit Quote for Sudhin Choksey:
A fool is worshipped at his home.
A chief is worshipped in his town.
A king is worshipped in his kigdom.
A knowledgable person is worshipped everywhere.

Advaita philosophy quote by FLOYD HENDERSON:
The gatekeeper of your prison is, surprisingly, Realization. Realization can free you from the roles, and freedom from those roles will free you from the drama. Yet most persons are so addicted to the chaos, so lost in the drama, and so removed from reality that they will never search for a way out of their prison. They will move about within the confines of their prison and believe that they are free. Few will ever have any desire to be totally independent. Fewer still will take the seven-step “journey” to reality and know true freedom and absolute independence. Most will fight to the end in defense of nonsensical, magical beliefs that were dreamed up by uneducated men during ancient times. What about you? How free do you want to be? How soon do you want that freedom?

SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ:
First of all you identify something as being good or bad for yourself. Then, in an effort to acquire good or to get rid of the bad, you have invented a God. Then you worship such a God and ... you pray to that God for something good to happen to you.

DENNIS WAITE: Good and evil are only relative terms in the phenomenal world; Brahman is beyond both. Evil arises as a result of ignorance.

Quotes about Brahmacharya

Mary Wollstonecraft: No man consciously chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for the happiness he seeks.

D. H. Lawrence: The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve-center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time.

Ok.... I will leave you all for the weekend with some quotes about love....

Chesterton, G.K.: Love means loving the unlovable----or it is no virtue at all.

Mother Teresa: There is a famine in America. Not a famine of food, but of love, of truth, of life.

Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.
Author: Washington, Carver, George

GK was awesome, a font of witticisms and sardonic humor.

The desire of love is to give. The desire of lust is to take.
Unknown Author

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.

- Cicero

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.
Author: Wolfgang, Goethe, Johann

Love trusts on, ever hopes and expects better things; and is a trust springing from itself, and out of its own deeps alone.
Author: Hill, Rowland
