Enlightenment Quotes Quotes

“We alone control our final form through our conscious actions. We become the product of the movement of our mind and our physical actions. The joint composition of our personal beliefs coupled with performing purposeful deeds brings forth form and tangible appearance to our thoughts. To discover our special radiance we must gain freedom from all forces of oppression. We must break free from the limitations of a shallow ego in an effort to give birth to our translucent state of creative consciousness.”

“The path towards living in a spiritual manner begins by eliminating inculcated cultural biases, destroying personal illusions, and gratefully accepting the world without sentimental artifice. Emotional detachment provides for clarity of vision.”

“Water has no mouth, but swallows many. Light has no hands, but touches many. Wind has no feet, but carries many. Darkness has no teeth, but devours many.”

“Enlightenment is making every cell, gene and DNA as the radiator of peace and harmony.”

“While solitude and study are necessary ingredients to understand our place in the world and to achieve an amplified sense of clarity and balance, immersion in natural world and sharing in human interaction is the ultimate source of inspiration and learning. Only by observing, understanding, and respecting nature and by unconditionally embracing, accepting, and loving other people of all stripes, can we experience the full gamut of emotions that makes us human.”

“Remember your connection with the cosmos. Remember your connection with the infinity and that remembrance will give you the freedom.”

“If you turn to self-realization in search of love, empathy, or affection, or as a solution to your daily difficulties—be they illness, financial hardship, career goals, or relationships—hold on, because it's much more than that! Self-realization is a wonderful journey to discover the profound truth about yourself and the universe, leading you to eternal and unwavering joy. Along this path, you may or may not find the emotions or solutions you crave as delightful surprises, and after self-realization, you will clearly understand why.”

“Attempting to alleviate loneliness and unhappiness through technologically mediated interactions is simply a self-defeating approach. It’s an error akin to trying to quench thirst with brackish water. Just as consuming such water perpetuates the feeling of thirst, the more we depend on technology to address our spiritual and social needs, the more pronounced our sense of alienation and internal emptiness will become.”

“Your knowledge can stir the world, your intellect can move it, your wisdom can shake it, but only your love can truly change it.”

“Self-mastery is the first step towards attaining enlightenment. Change begins with personal dissatisfaction and belief that a person can do better. A person can set meaningful goals and vow not to hold onto frivolous attachments. My objective is to cultivate the ability to expect the best effort from myself and never be afraid to tackle the type of difficult projects or pursue scintillating adventures that spur mental growth. I aim to become a loyal, loving, and joyful person, and broaden personal knowledge through a self-prescribed course of active reading and studious contemplation. I aspire to use an expanded base of knowledge to live a more ethical and principled existence and rid myself of self-defeating behaviors brought on by brooding doubts regarding the paucity of my innate talent. Instead of grieving over what I failed to achieve, I plan to concentrate upon what I can achieve and bring the collective force of my newly resolved mindset to the forefront.”

“Intelligence is the icing, but wisdom is the cake.”

“Through our chanting we merge our personal consciousness momentarily with the infinite consciousness that is our origin and our destiny. It is the drop of water finding its way back into the ocean from which it came.”

“As the sun lives on when it sets in the warmth it has given to others, you too will live on in the hearts of those whose lives you have touched.”

“The most valuable real estate in the universe is inside your soul.”

“When perplexed, God appears to you in the form of wisdom; when troubled, in the form of peace; when sad, in the form of joy; when heartbroken, in the form of love.”

“If we recognize that Spirit is all powerful, and cannot be hurt, and that only Spirit exists, then nothing that happens here matters. And we see everyone and everything from the point of wholeness. Even the ‘deceitful’ thing that happened is probably to teach us a lesson not to value anything of this world, including the body. Miracles bring conviction for they demonstrate what you have just written – the valuelessness of the body and world and the value of the Spirit, which is unchanging.”

“Take all men as your brothers; all women as your sisters; and all children as your sons and daughters.”

“A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.”
