A wisdom quote from Swami Sivananda on our actions and thoughts…
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching. —Swami Sivananda
“Say I am” by Nisargadatta
Learn to distinguish the immovable in the movable, the unchanging in the changing, till you realize that all differences are in appearance only and oneness is a fact. This basic identity—you may call God, or Brahman, or the matrix (Prakriti), the words matter little—is only the realization that all is one. Once you can say…

A wisdom quote from Neale Donald Walsch on “Why is this happening?”
“Why is this happening?” is the most useless question in the Universe. The only really profitable question is, “What?” As in, “What do I choose now?” This question empowers.

Why scurry about looking for the truth?

ZEN POEMS: “Still water” by Chuang Tzu
“Still water” The non-action of the wise man is not inaction. It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything. The sage is quiet because he is not moved, Not because he wills to be quiet. Still water is like glass. You can look in it and see the bristles on your chin. It…
SUFI POEMS: “A single word can brighten the face” by Yunus Emre
“A single word can brighten the face” A single word can brighten the face of one who knows the value of words. Ripened in silence, a single word acquires a great energy for work. War is cut short by a word, and a word heals the wounds, and there’s a word that changes poison into…
