Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
This is peace, this is excellent, namely the calm of all impulses, the casting out of all “basis”, the extinction of craving, dispassion, stopping-nirvana.
I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
-Henry David Thoreau
Devotion to God’s Name is my lamp; In this lamp is poured the oil of suffering. The light of realisation burns away this oil…Vast loads of firewood are reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire.
Don't be under the wrong impression that you have done something or you can
do something... Please be clear, it is your nature that propels you to act, and
your each action is nothing but a transpiration compelled by it.
-Deep Trivedi
A poet is not an apostle; he drives out devils only by the power of the devil.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Booksellers are the most valuable destination for the lonely, given the numbers of books written because authors couldn't find anyone to talk to.
-Alain De Botton
