Life delights in life

For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.

– William Blake

The great way is not difficult

The great way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When like and dislike are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction however and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

– Seng T’san

The opposite

Whatever you imagine, God is the opposite of that.

– DHÛ-L-NÛN

Revenge on ourselves

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

– Pope

For Thine own sake

O God! if I worship Thee in fear of Hell, burn me in Hell;
and if I worship Thee in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise;
but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake, withhold not thine everlasting beauty.

– RÂBI‘A

The wise grows it under his feet

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance;
The wise grows it under his feet.

In the void

0

What is called the spirit of the void is where there is nothing. It is not included in man’s knowledge. Of course the void is nothingness. By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist. That is the void.

People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment…

Polish the twofold spirit heart and mind, and sharpen the twofold perception and sight. When your spirit is not in the least clouded, when the clouds of bewilderment clear away, there is the true void…

In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness.

– Miyamoto Musashi

The original seed of all existences

I am the taste in the water, the light of the sun and the moon, the sound in the ether, the ability in man, the fragrance of the earth, the heat in the fire, the life of all that lives, the strength of the strong, the intelligence of the intelligent, and the original seed of all existences.

– From the Bhagavad Gita
