Quote by J.L.. Carr

“Me! Well, I'm not an artist, but they gave me a diploma at L.C.A. with a cast-iron guarantee that I could be relied upon to recognize Beauty whenever my eyes fell thereon. So, professionally, I must tell you, Yes, you're beautiful. Very." And could she have made herself go that little bit further and given me the nod, I would have recited a catalogue of her charms--in detail-- because my blood was up. Delectissima, amantissima!”

“تتردد في سمعي كلمات إبراهيم عن منبر صلاح الدين الذي أعده قبل تحرير القدس بسنوات ووضعه أمامه ليكون له حافزاً ومحركاً للسير نحو القدس لتحريرها من أيد الصليبين وكيف أحرقته الأيدي اليهودية الآثمة عام 1968 وأتساءل في نفسي هل من صلاح الدين لهذه المرحلة ؟”

“It's in the morning, for most of us. It's that time, those few seconds when we're coming out of sleep but we're not really awake yet. For those few seconds we're something more primitive than what we are about to become. We have just slept the sleep of our most distant ancestors, and something of them and their world still clings to us. For those few moments we are unformed, uncivilized. We are not the people we know as ourselves, but creatures more in tune with a tree than a keyboard. We are untitled, unnamed, natural, suspended between was and will be, the tadpole before the frog, the worm before the butterfly. We are for a few brief moments, anything and everything we could be. And then...and then -- ah -- we open our eyes and the day is before us and ... we become ourselves.”

“When will final Liberation [Moksha] occur?! It is when your knowledge, your understanding [darshan] becomes mistake-free. You have been stuck because of these mistakes. One says, ‘I am Chandulal. I am the husband of this woman. I am this boy’s father. I am eighty years old’. So many such mistakes are there! There is a series of such mistakes!! Mistake is indeed at the root of all that!!! ‘This’ is the only misunderstanding’ there is, and that is what has obstructed liberation. And through only one understanding there is liberation.”

“If you say, ‘Now I look like an old man’, you will start to look like an old man. If you say, ‘No, I look like a young man now’, you will start to look like a young man. What you project is what you will see. Soul is the form of projection and if false projections are done, the worldly life is created! If you come to a state free of false belief (wrong projection), You will be in the state of the ‘Real form of the Self’ (mood swaroop).”
