Quote by Swami Dhyan Giten

“A man without love is like a plastic rose. A man becomes a human being only when he is in contact with his heart. With love man is no more an animal. Otherwise man is just like other animals except that he has a bigger and efficient mind. That difference is quantitative, it is not a qualitative difference. The realdifference is only when there is a difference of quality. And love is the only quality that brings a new quality to you. Out of one-hundred men, ninety-nine do not even know what love is. It is the rare individuals who come to know what love is. The real man requires two things: love and meditation. If a man can love he is bound to find the way to meditation, because love gives you certain glimpses of meditation. Love makes you silent. When two people who really love each other meet, they have nothing to say. They may hold hands and sit silent together. Love gives glimpses of meditation.  Love is a natural jumping board for meditation. So begin with love, and love as deeply as possible. Love as many people as possible, because each person is a unique experience. And love not only people, love animals also because they have a different plane of existence, a different level of consciousness. In this way your life will become more and more enriched. It will produce the perfume of love. And that perfume will start moving into meditation naturally.”

“We preserve our humanity when we: – Say "I don’t know" without shame. – Choose silence when noise is cheap. – Care even when it's inconvenient. – Stay present when it would be easier to scroll away.”

“قلتُ لكَ ذات مرة: لن أسألكَ أبدًا، لماذا.. أستحقُّ أن أجدَ إجاباتي بنفسي، حتى لو كان ذلك يعني السيرَ في طريقٍ لا يُمكنكَ اتباعه. أحيانًا، الصمتُ أبلغُ من الكلام، والحقيقةُ تتكشّفُ في وقتها. جيني حسين علي I told you once; I will never ask you, why... I deserve to find my own answers, even if that means walking a path you can't follow. Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words, and the truth unfolds in its own time. Jenny Hussien Ali”

“Silence is not the absence of sound but an environment that amplifies what we usually ignore. When the external noise fades, the whispers inside grow louder. We might hear anxieties we’ve been avoiding, desires we haven’t acknowledged, or sorrow we thought we had neatly tucked away. Silence holds up a mirror, reflecting our inner world back at us without distortion”
