And it is therefore this concept which is of the utmost importance, this concept of conserving a dynamic biological force within the human system and converting it into a higher subtler force through sublimation, conservation, preservation and taking it higher into the psyche in the form of a very, very refined subtle energy, psychical energy called ojas -- ojas means that which is radiant, that which shines, that which is effulgent. This wise technique, a scientific method of converting the gross into the subtle; physical into the spiritual; psychic into the spiritual was evolved by the great sages.
- Swami Sivananda Saraswati
He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears
is more than a king.
- John Milton
For those who have
an intense urge for Spirit
and wisdom,
it sits near them,
waiting.
- Patanjali
Long enough have you dreamed contemptible dreams,
Now I wash the gum from your eyes,
You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light
And of every moment of life.
- Walt Whitman
Day may decline and shadows fall,
but darkness flees when the Earth has again turned upon its axis.
The Sun is not affected by the revolution of the Earth.
- Mary Eddy Baker
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
- Mohandas K. Ghandi
Truth can be experienced in a fraction of a second. That truth is this: You are absolute perfection, limitless, infinite, with all and every quality of the Creator and the Creation.
- Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi
Men call me Christ, and God has recognised the name; but Christ is not a man. The Christ is universal love, and Love is king. This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations overcome, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which Christ can manifest to men. Then hear, you men of Israel, hear! Look not upon the flesh; it is not king. Look to the Christ within, who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.
- Master Yeshua (Jesus) in the Aquarian Gospel
If, by giving up lesser comforts,
A greater happiness is found,
The wise should give up
the lesser comforts
In view of the greater happiness.
- Dhammapada
