“The world we live in pictures a pie with only so many pieces, and if other people have more you have less, and you have to compete with other people in order to try to get ahead. You have to sell yourself at every available opportunity. The shift, the enlightened shift, has to do with a movement from competition to collaboration, from sales to service, from ambition to inspiration, and to a belief in scarcity to a belief in abundance as an eternal spiritual quality.” PeopleIfsWorldTryingInspirationSpiritualOrderOpportunityBeliefQualityPiecesMovementAmbitionEternalSellsCompetitionAvailableAbundanceEnlightenedCollaborationPieScarcityGet Ahead Author:Marianne Williamson
“As the world has to attain the fulfilment of eternal life, to me it does not in the least matter what I am called -'Enlightened One', 'Son of God', or something else. To me, it has no purpose - as little as when the Buddha said, 'I am the Enlightened One'.” WorldLittlesDoeSaidMatterPurposeSonEternalEnlightenedEternal LifeFulfilment Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“Sometimes I come across a tree which seems like Buddha or Jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. How much can I learn from a tree? The tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.” LoveGivingStillsSometimesSeemsBeautifulJesusNatureChurchPrayerPleasureCompassionBeautyFireMeditationTreeWindReturnEternalBirdRainHarmonyAskingPlantNeighborBuddhistBranchesSoilTemplesEnlightenedShadeCompassionateStillnessCowsSurroundingsBeautiful LifeMantrasPilgrimBerries Author:Satish Kumar
“It is because we don't know who we are, because we are unaware that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, that we behave in the generally silly, the often insane, the sometimes criminal ways that are so characteristically human. We are saved, we are liberated and enlightened, by perceiving the hitherto unperceived good that is already within us, by returning to our eternal ground and remaining where, without knowing it, we have always been.” KnowsWayHumansSometimesLightHeavenKnowingEternalCriminalsSavedSillyKingdomsInsaneBehaveWho We AreEnlightenedLiberatedKingdom Of Heaven Book:The Perennial Philosophy: An Interpretation of the Great Mystics, East and West Source: The Perennial Philosophy: An Interpretation of the Great Mystics, East and West
