"Meditation is the only way you can grow. There’s no other way out. Because when you meditate you are in silence, you are in thoughtless awareness. Then the growth of awareness takes place."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, New York, USA, 27th July 1988.

"But great is the realm of the world-creator, the world-sustainer from whom we come, in whom we move and have our being, about us, within us the wonders of wisdom, the trees and the fountains, the stars and the mountains, all the children of joy, the loved and the known, the unknowable mystery to whom we return through the world-destroyer — Holy, holy at the end of the world the purging fire of the purifier, the liberator!"

Kathleen Raine. From Millennial Hymn to Lord Shiva.

"I assert for myself that I do not behold the outward creation, and that to me it is hindrance and not action. ... ... I question not my corporeal eye any more than I would question a window concerning a sight. I look through it and not with it."


William Blake. From A vision of the Last Judgement.

"When Life does not find a singer to sing her heart, she produces a philosopher to speak her mind."


Kahlil Gibran. From Sand and Foam, 1926.

"There was something formless and perfect before the universe was born. It is serene. Empty. Solitary. Unchanging. Infinite. Eternally present. It is the Mother of the universe. For lack of a better name, I call it the Tao. It flows through all things, inside and outside, and returns to the origin of all things. The Tao is great. The universe is great. Earth is great. Man is great. These are the four great powers.


Man follows the earth. Earth follows the universe. The universe follows the Tao. The Tao follows only itself."


Lao Tzu. From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 25. Translated by Stephen Mitchell.
