Quote by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

“By choosing to perform actions that are either ethically positive or negative, we are choosing at the exact moment of such activities to create our own future states of being. We are choosing to mold our psycho-physical state, our mode of consciousness, our future course of action. The principle of karma teaches us that we have the power through our own present free-will decisions to literally create who and what we will be in the future. Thus, rather than being a doctrine that teaches the importance of "fate", "predestination", or a type of unalterable "destiny", the principle of karma actually teaches us the opposite: That we are radically free beings, with the ability at every given moment to choose to mold ourselves and our individual futures. Karma is thus a doctrine of radical freedom.”

“It must never be forgotten that for non-modern man - whether he be ancient or contemporary - the very stuff of the Universe has a sacred aspect. The cosmos speaks to man and all of its phenomena contain meaning. They are symbols of a higher degree of reality which the cosmic domain at once veils and reveals. The very structure of the cosmos contains a spiritual message for man and is thereby a revelation coming from the same source as religion itself. Both are the manifestations of the Universal Intellect, the Logos, and the cosmos itself is an integral part of that total Universe of meaning in which man lives and dies.”

“You have read for years, and where has it got you? Your head is filled with masses of ideas and concepts, and you yearn for experience that others on the path have had. Before your true nature is understood all those ideas and concepts must melt away. No books — the only book is the manuscript of nature, the lesson is life itself. Live passionately! Who said that this path should be so serious that there is no joy in it? This is the most exciting adventure possible, and it should be enjoyed. — Hamid”

“Diejenigen, die Offenbarungen empfangen haben, gaben uns heilige Bücher wie die Bibel, den Qur‘an, die Bhagavad Gita; Hunderte und Tausende Jahre sind vergangen und ihre heiligen Lehren blieben bis heute lebendig. Und doch müssen wir wissen, dass das, was diese Schriften uns in Form von Predigten und Lehren geben, eine Interpretation der lebendigen Weisheit ist, die nicht vollständig in Worten ausgedrückt werden kann. Wir können dieses lebendige Wissen nur kennenlernen, wenn wir es selbst erleben, indem wir unser Herz öffnen. Dann ist der Zweck des Lebens erfüllt. (S. 232)”
