Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher the storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Rabindranath Tagore

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there. Paulo Coelho

I am so drunk, I have lost the way in and the way out.
I have lost the earth, the moon, and the sky.
Don’t put another cup of wine in my hand,
Pour it in my mouth, for I have lost the way to my mouth Rumi

All That Is

The world is the way it is because it could not be any other way and still exist in the gross realm of physicality. Earthquakes and hurricanes, floods and tornados, and events that you call natural disasters are but movements of the elements from one polarity to the other. The whole birth-death cycle is part of this movement. These are the rhythms of life, and everything in gross reality is subject to them, because life itself is a rhythm. It is a wave, a vibration, a pulsation at the very heart of the All That Is.

If you’re really spiritual, then you should be totally independent of the good and the bad opinions of the world…you should have faith in yourself. Deepak Chopra

The sound ah within the name God is the same sound around the world. We find ah in Allah, Krishna, Jehovah, and Ra, for a few examples. When repeated as a mantra while in the gap, this sound keeps us in a prolonged state of conscious contact with our Source. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

vbshalom:

Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ 
(Sanskrit: ओं मणिपद्मे हूं)
“The mantra Om Mani Päme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Pä, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom.”So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?” 
— Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones
This Self is neither born nor dies,
it neither grows nor decays, nor does it suffer any change.
When a pot is broken the space inside it is not, & similarly,
when the body dies, the Self in it remains eternal Ramana Maharshi

I Am

Every man is “God made Man.” You are Me, expressing in your
present form. Yet don’t worry about limiting Me; about how limited
that makes Me. For I am not limited, and never have been. Do you
think that you are the only form that I have chosen? Do you think you
are the only creatures whom I’ve imbued with the Essence of Me?
I tell you, lam in every flower, every rainbow, every star in the
heavens, and everything in and on every planet rotating around every
star.
I am the whisper of the wind, the warmth of your sun, the incredible
individuality and the extraordinary perfection of every snowflake.
I am the majesty in the soaring flight of eagles, and the innocence of
the doe in the field; the courage of lions, the wisdom of the ancient
ones.

Life will not, it will never, make sense to your mind. The secret is to see life from the soul’s perspective; to add to the mind’s experience the soul’s wisdom, awareness, and total knowing. Neale Donald Walsch
