Copy Quote Text

The fulfillment of every desire only reveals its inadequacy.

Swami Prabhavananda

There is no failure in the spiritual life, as long as we do not give up the fight.

Swami Prabhavananda

The mind is like a lake lashed into waves. Make the water of the lake clear and calm.

Swami Prabhavananda

The breeze of God's grace is blowing continually. You have to set your sail to catch that breeze.

Swami Prabhavananda

Sometimes one has simply to endure a period of depression for what it may hold of illumination if one can live through it, attentive to what it exposes or demands.

May Sarton Poet

What would you not have accomplished if you had been free?" "Possibly nothing at all; the overflow of my brain would probably, in a state of freedom, have evaporated in a thousand follies; misfortune is needed to bring to light the treasures of the human intellect. Compression is needed to explode gunpowder. Captivity has brought my mental faculties to a focus; and you are well aware that from the collision of clouds electricity is produced — from electricity, lightning, from lightning, illumination.

Alexandre Dumas Writer

Don't hate the arising of thoughts or stop the thoughts that do arise. Simply realize that our original mind, right from the start, is beyond thought, so that no matter what, you never get involved with thoughts. Illuminate original mind, and no other understanding is necessary.

Your intelligence is a fire that can illuminate any darkness. Awaken and let your mind burn so brightly! You are alive for a reason!

Bryant H. Mcgill Author

It had become clear to me, in a flash of illumination, that for me the only possible goal was psychiatry. Here alone the two currents of my interest could flow together and in a united stream dig their own bed. Here was the empirical field common to biological and spiritual facts, which I had everywhere sought and nowhere found. Here at last was the place where the collision of nature and spirit became a reality.

Carl Jung Psychiatrist

A philosophical thought has probably not attained all its sharpness and all its illumination until it is expressed in French.

Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve
