“As we said before, initiation lies at the core of any genuine
human life. And this is true for two reasons. The first is that any
genuine human life implies profound crises, ordeals, suffering, loss
and reconquest of self, "death and resurrection." The second is
that, whatever degree of fulfillment it may have brought him, at a
certain moment every man sees his life as a failure. This vision
does not arise from a moral judgment made on his past, but from
an obscure feeling that he has missed his vocation; that he has
betrayed the best that was in him. In such moments of total crisis,
only one hope seems to offer any issue-the hope of beginning
life over again. This means, in short, that the man undergoing such
a crisis dreams of new, regenerated life, fully realized and significant. This is something other and far more than the obscure
desire of every human soul to renew itself periodically, as the
cosmos is renewed. The hope and dream of these moments of
total crisis are to obtain a definitive and total renovatio, a renewal
capable of transmuting life. Such a renewal is the result of every
genuine religious conversion.”

“As We Sail By
We float
Through purple velvet skies
Out where, black holes are born
And the Milky-Way dies
We fly
Through purple hazed skies
Out where, nebulas fade
And an apricot sun spies
We coast
Through purple blue skies
Out where, the platinum moon sits and
Supernovas explode as we sail by

“As we sail in the voyage of life,
the love and joy we shared count more than anything else.
Let them feel the rhythm of our heart,
share them the music of our soul,
for a meaningful, fulfilling moments of today,
for a hopeful, promising and joyful tomorrow”

“As we saw in the last chapter, the dreams have a double meaning: They are the dreams that announce the birth of a universal emperor, but they also announce the birth of a Tirthankar. In other words, a Tirthankar is one who might have been an earthly king but became an ascetic instead. In this connection, it is important to note that a Tirthankar-to-be is always born into a family belonging to the Kshatriya varna, the social class of warriors and kings.”

“As we see it, space is possible only when the primordial Being swallows emptiness. Space is born when the Being accepts emptiness, the Nonbeing, into itself. Thus, this condensed Being begins to dilute and spread out; emptiness starts making relations within it. Its life is impossible without emptiness: vacuum gives dimension to the Being, although without any dimension. Emptiness provides volume to the Being.”

“As we shall see, the concept of time has no meaning before the beginning of the universe. This was first pointed out by St. Augustine. When asked: What did God do before he created the universe? Augustine didn't reply: He was preparing Hell for people who asked such questions. Instead, he said that time was a property of the universe that God created, and that time did not exist before the beginning of the universe.”

“As we speak from a particular perspective, our words not only reveal something about our hemispheric vantage point, but they also go on to reinforce this way of seeing, wrapping us within a distinct perceptual slant. Then, because of our resonance with each other, we are simultaneously issuing an invitation for others to join us in this mode of attending.

But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
