“If in heroic conduct, whether of warriors, philosophers or scientists, we see what is of essential nature, then we know that all heroism groups itself around a supreme value. This has always been the idea of honour, spiritual and mental. But the idea of honour, like its corporeal representatives, was involved in a war of soul and spirit against the values represented by alien races or the offspring of racial chaos.” IfsKnowsIdeasWarSoulSpiritualSpiritValuesRaceGroupsInvolvedEssentialsScientistChaosPhilosopherSupremeWarriorAliensHonourHeroicHeroismRepresentativesOffspring Author:Alfred Rosenberg
“It should be for satsang that we go to spiritual centers. By going there, people who are involved in the world can attain peace and concentration. The concentration gained when one goes there cannot be achieved if one sits at home. Even though the breeze blows everywhere, coolness will be felt more if we sit in the shade of a tree. In the same way, although God is all-pervading, this presence will clearly shine in certain places more than others. That is the greatness of satsang. Satsang is the best thing for spiritual advancement.” PeopleIfsWorldWayShouldHomeSpiritualCertainFeltTreeGreatnessInvolvedShiningBlowDevotionBest ThingsConcentrationShadeBreezeAdvancementCoolnessSatsang Author:Mata Amritanandamayi
“You are meant to think before you speak. How many times is your heart involved in what you are doing? Every act should be a spiritual one involving your total being - soul, mind and body - done for the sake of the doing, given for the sake of the giving, worked for the sake of the working, not for the sake of what you can get out of it. The more you do this, uniting all the aspects of your being, the more you will create harmony, balance and peace.” ThinkingGivingShouldMindHeartSoulDoneBodySpiritualSpeakGivenBalanceInvolvedAspectHarmonySakeMind And BodyInvolvingUnitingThink Before You Speak Author:Jack Schwarz
“Many spiritual people are involved in a radical denial of what is happening. They want to transcend it, get rid of it, get out of it, get away from it. There's nothing wrong with that feeling, but the approach doesn't work because it's escapism in spiritual clothing. It's wearing spiritual clothing and spiritual concepts, but it is really no different than a drunk in the gutter who doesn't want to feel the pain anymore. When you abide and accept everything completely and fully, you automatically go beyond.” PeopleWantFeelsDifferentFeelingsPainSpiritualAcceptingInvolvedApproachHappeningsConceptsDrunkRadicalDenialGet AwayClothingsEscapismGutters Author:Adyashanti
“While there may not be spiritual oppression involved in your battle [against lust], there'll always be opposition. The enemy is constantly near your ear. He doesn't want you to win this fight, and he knows the lies that so often break a man's confidence and his will to win. Expect to hear lies and plenty of them. satan's lie: 'You're the only one dealing with this problem. If anyone ever finds out, you'll be the laughingstock of the church!'

“To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary?
