“It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.” KindPastPeaceNumbersMorningDistancePainfulGet UpIntensityRecalls Author:Leonard Cohen
“Yet there are some resting-places, / Life's untroubled interludes; / Times when neither past nor future / On the soul's deep calm intrudes.” SoulPastPeaceCalm Book:Poems by Jean Ingelow Source: Poems by Jean Ingelow
“I am dead already. Physical death will make no difference in my case. I am timeless being. I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past or imagine the future. Where there are no names and shapes, how can there be desire and fear? With desirelessness comes timelessness. I am safe, because what is not, cannot touch what is. You feel unsafe, because you imagine danger. Of course, your body as such is complex and vulnerable and needs protection. But not you. Once you realize your own unassailable being, you will be at peace.” NeedsFeelsBodyPastRememberDeathDesireCoursesNamesFearPeaceRealizingDifferencesCasesImagineDangerFutureShapesSafeComplexesProtectionYour BodyVulnerableTimelessTimelessnessUnsafeRemembering The Past Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
