Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.
-Jean Cocteau

-Jean Cocteau
Peace comes within the souls of men, when they realise their oneness with the universe, when they realise it is really everywhere… it is within each one of us.
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. ‘I am’ is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realisation.
God’s purpose in creating the universe was to feel happiness when He saw the purpose of goodness fulfilled in the Heavenly Kingdom, which the whole of Creation, including man, could have established.
A man who is averse to harming even the wind knows the sorrow of all living things.
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit…
We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath.
-Laurence Binyon
