The world is real for the ignorant as well as for the wise; for the ignorant the real is measured by the world, for one who knows the real has no limits and is the foundation of the world.

Both say [...]]]> The World Is Real. Great wisdom from Ramana Maharshi.

The world is real for the ignorant
as well as for the wise;
for the ignorant the real
is measured by the world,
for one who knows
the real has no limits and
is the foundation of the world.

Both say ‘I’ referring to themselves,
the ignorant and the one who knows.

For the ignorant the self is defined by the body,
the wise knows that within the body the
unlimited Self shines with its own splendour.

Ramana Maharshi (1879 – 1950)

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish [...]]]> Robert Frost's great short poem about the dangers of egotistic desires & hate. A must read!

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Kill me, my faithful friends, For in my being killed is my life.

Love is that you remain standing In front of your Beloved When you are stripped of all [...]]]> Kill me, my faithful friends! Great poem by Mansur Al-Hallaj about spiritual & merely human selves.

Kill me, my faithful friends,
For in my being killed is my life.

Love is that you remain standing
In front of your Beloved
When you are stripped of all your attributes;
Then His attributes become your qualities.

Between me and You, there is only me.
Take away the me, so only You remain.

Translated from Arabic by Andrew Harvey

Dear Friends,

Here are four much retweeted, much loved quotes
from my Twitter site http://twitter.com/PJA64X
to keep you all happy and inspired this week.

I hope you will enjoy these valuable
quotes. Never take yourself too seriously
and never dwell on what might have been.
If you are happy in yourself, you can see
yourself in others too. The great Bollywood
star Dev Anand has practised these concepts
over the years and, even at 86, remains as
positive, forward looking, active and energetic
as ever. A wonderful example. Bless you all!

Let nothing upset you, let nothing startle you.

All things pass; God does not change.

Patience wins all it seeks.

Let nothing upset you,
let nothing startle you.

Patience wins

Whoever has God
lacks nothing:

God alone
