Wisdom and Love

Wisdom is knowing that I am nothing,
Love is knowing I am everything,
and between the two my life moves.

                      Nisargadatta Maharaj

Take notice

When a book literally falls into your lap or is sent to you by several different people - or even when you keep seeing the title and having it refered to by others over and over - you need to notice, stop your resistance, and surrender.

Wayne Dyer in "Your Ultimate Calling" page 51

Nature and Humanity

If you lose touch with nature you lose touch with humanity.

Krishnamurti's Journal 4th April 1975

May your troubles be less

May your troubles be less,
your hapiness more
and nothing but blessings come through your door.

Renee Locks

Need for practice

People do need to do some sort of practice in order to really integrate this so that is really becomes something they're embodying rather than just an experience they had.

Bill Harris in conversation with Genpo Roshi

Your duty is to be

Your duty is to be. Not to be somebody, not to be nobody - for therein lies greed and ambition - not to be this or that - and thus become conditioned - but just to be.

Anthony de Mello in "The Prayer of the Frog" page 192

To become non-greedy is still a form of greed

If you are greedy, what matters is to understand your greed and not try to become non-greedy; because the very desire to become non-greedy is still a form of greed.

J. Krishnamurti "Life Ahead" page 136
