Quote by Swami Dhyan Giten

“One of the greatest problems facing humanity is that of meaning. Almost anybody who a little intelligence are feeling that life is meaningless. And to feel that life is meaningless is a dangerous situation. Then the questions naturally and inevitably occur; why go on living and for what? Man has for the first time become a little  affluent, so now the problem has occurred, at least in the Western countries, that we have enough to eat and our physical needs are fulfilled, and we have time to think about significant matters. We are not totally occupied with survival. And this give us time to think about significant matters: what is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Why do we go on existing? Unless love becomes our experience, life will remain meaningless. The future of humanity depends on solving this problem. If love happens, life becomes so full, that one would like to live and one would like others to live. Only love is the hope for the future of humanity. Hence the life of a seeker of love and truth has to be grounded in love. If you can feel the meaning of life through love, you can trigger the process in others. When you have the light of love within your heart, you can share your light with others, who are in immense need. There is still a chance for humanity, there is still hope for humanity to be saved.”

“I open my arms to gather splendor, to bring paradise to my heart, with windows of light, where stars will enter to wipe the dark, and a galaxy will set foot in my soul. I drink the dew of night, to be wild at heart, and sense the madness of midnight moments. With a drunken self, I am out in the dark, searching for the lamp in my soul. I turn not weary with the dark, but luminous, every moment.”

“Quiet Revolution Beautiful hearts carry the quiet revolution, a song in thick despair. Beautiful hearts are bold, for they bloom from a wild freedom. Beautiful hearts remember unremembered people, the forgotten memories, and fill the earth with the song of their souls. Beautiful hearts see glory in the gray, dig courage into ashes. Beautiful hearts carry the music, long after it is silenced. Beautiful hearts find wisdom in kneeling, not roaring. Beautiful hearts carry heaven in their hearts. Often, the world perceives them as lost and broken, for they behold glory in the grass and flowers, while others seek it in mansions and riches. Bless them, for dawn is alive in their hearts. Bless them, for they make music in this mundane world.”
