“Truth is not over there, wherever over there is. Truth is neither housed in religious rituals nor secret doctrines, nor in a guru's touch or beatific smile, nor in exotic locations or ancient temples. Truth is quite literally the only thing that does exist. It is not hidden but in plain view, not lacking but abundantly present.” DoeReligiousViewsSecretTruth IsAncientDoctrineTemplesRitualLackingLocationGuruExoticReligious Rituals Author:Adyashanti
“The private devotions and secret offices of religion are like the refreshing of a garden with the distilling and petty drops of a waterpot; but addressed from the temple, they are like ram from heaven.” HeavenPrayerSecretOfficeGardenDevotionTemplesPettyRefreshingRams Author:Jeremy Taylor
“Science is a match that man has just got alight. He thought he was in a room - in moments of devotion, a temple - and that his light would be reflected from and display walls inscribed with wonderful secrets and pillars carved with philosophical systems wrought into harmony. It is a curious sensation, now that the preliminary splutter is over and the flame burns up clear, to see his hands and just a glimpse of himself and the patch he stands on visible, and around him, in place of all that human comfort and beauty he anticipated - darkness still.” MenHumansStillsMomentsHandsLightWould BeRoomsSecretDarknessClearWonderfulWallComfortHarmonyPhilosophicalDevotionCuriousFlamesVisibleTemplesSensationsDisplayGlimpsePatchesPillars Book:The Island of Doctor Moreau Source: The Island of Doctor Moreau
