“All birth means separation from the All, the confinement within limitation, the separation from God, the pangs of being born ever anew. The return into the All, the dissolution of painful individuation, the reunion with God means the expansion of the soul until it is able once more to embrace the All.” MeanSoulAbleBornReturnBirthEmbracePainfulSeparationLimitationExpansionReunionDissolutionConfinementIndividuation Book:Steppenwolf Source: Steppenwolf
“The acceptability of birth control has always depended on a morality that separates sex from reproduction.

“Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yard-stick of our separation.

“All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances.” ShouldFirstsEndsRealizingReligiousKnowingBuildingBirthSorrowDestructionMeetingsSeparationPursuitCommandBuddhistInevitableFaithfulWorldlyGuruAcquisitionRenounceObservanceDispersion Author:Milarepa
