“you are a volume in the divine book
a mirror to the power that created the universe
whatever you want, ask it of yourself
whatever you’re looking for can only be found
inside of you”
― Rumi, The Poetry of Jalaluddin Rumi
“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.”–Rabi’a (A Sufi saint.)
To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.”
― William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
Simplicity–
“A simple heart will love all that is most precious on earth, husband or wife, parent or child, brother or friend, without marring its singleness. . .”-N. Grou
There is as much within that little space within the heart as there is in the whole world outside.
Heaven, earth, fire, wind, sun, moon, lightening, stars: whatever is and whatever is not, everything is there.
Chandogya Upanishad
