“We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Perhaps because there`s no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we've read before we can say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy.

“Theology is-- or should be-- a species of poetry,which read quickly or encountered in a hubbub of noise makes no sense. You have to open yourself to a poem with a quiet, receptive mind, in the same way you might listen to a difficult piece of music... If you seize upon a poem and try to extort its meaning before you are ready, it remains opaque. If you bring your own personal agenda to bear upon it, the poem will close upon itself like a clam, because you have denied its unique and separate identity, its inviolate holiness.” IfsWayShouldTryingMindMightDifficultPiecesIdentityReadyBearsQuietUniqueRemainsSpeciesTheologyNoiseHolinessAgendasDeniedReceptiveOpaqueClams Author:Karen Armstrong
“I should like to be the landscape which I am contemplating, I should like this sky, this quiet water to think themselves within me, that it might be I whom they express in flesh and bone, and I remain at a distance. But it is also by this distance that the sky and the water exist before me. My contemplation is an excruciation only because it is also a joy. I can not appropriate the snow field where i slide. It remains foreign, forbidden, but I take delight in this very effort toward an impossible possession. I experience it as a triumph, not as a defeat.” ThinkingShouldI CanMightJoyWaterEffortImpossibleSkyFieldsQuietRemainsDistanceDefeatDelightPossessionBonesFleshSnowLandscapeTriumphContemplationExistentialismAppropriateContemplatingCan NotForbiddenSlides Book:The Ethics of Ambiguity Source: The Ethics of Ambiguity
“IGNORANCE I didn’t know love would make me this crazy, with my eyes like the river Ceyhun carrying me in its rapids out to sea,where every bit of shattered boat sinks to the bottom. An alligator lifts its head and swallows the ocean, then the ocean floor becomes a desert covering the alligator in sand drifts. Changes do happen. I do not know how, or what remains of what has disappeared into the absolute. I hear so many stories and explanations, but I keep quiet, because I don’t know anything, and because something I swallowed in the ocean has made me completely content with ignorance.” KnowsMadeStoriesHappensEyeBitsKnow HowSeaCrazyIgnoranceQuietOceanRiversAbsolutesRemainsBottomBoatDesertLiftsExplanationSandRapidsCoveringShatteredAlligators Author:Rumi
“That which rises and sinks is made up of what it rises from. The finality of the universe is the God Arunachala. Meditating on Him or on the seer, the Self, there is a mental vibration 'I' to which all are reduced. Tracing the source of 'I', the primal 'I-I' alone remains over, and it is inexpressible. The seat of Realisation is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart. The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it. There is nothing else to do.” HeartMadeSelfPurposeTurnsUniverseObjectsSourceBirthQuietRemainsCoreBlissSeatsRealisingSeekersVibrationsPrimalMeditatingRealisationFinalitySeersTracing Author:Ramana Maharshi
“The 'I' casts off the illusion of the 'I' and yet remains 'I'. Such is the paradox of Self-realization. The Realized do not see any paradox in it. Consider the case of the worshipper. He approaches God and prays to be absorbed in Him. He then surrenders himself in faith and by concentration. And what remains afterwards? In the place of the original 'I', self-surrender leaves a residuum of God in which the 'I' is lost. That is the highest form of devotion or surrender and the peak of detachment.” SelfFormLostCasesPrayingQuietApproachHighestIllusionOriginalsRemainsCastsSurrenderDevotionSelf RealizationRealizationConcentrationParadoxDetachmentWorshippers Author:Ramana Maharshi
“God implants Spirit and zeal into our hearts in order to accomplish a work. When the work is done, a quiet rest remains.

“We think we can – as normal people generally do – put up with a certain amount of unanalyzed unconscious material as long as it remains more or less quiet and does not interfere with normal life and normal activities When the unconscious disturbs, it has to be dealt with; if it keeps quiet, we do not make a systematic offensive against it.” PeopleIfsThinkingLongDoeCertainMaterialsAmountActivityQuietNormalRemainsUnconsciousInterfereOffensiveSystematicNormal Life Author:Roberto Assagioli
