Everything Is Its Own Cause

“Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.”          

–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (Indian Spiritual Teacher and Exponent of Jnana Yoga and Advaita Doctrine, 1897-1981)   

What Does The World Owe Us?

I was hearing yet another person tell me that they thought that the world “Owed” them. It reminded of this lovely quip:




“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”      

–Mark Twain (a.k.a. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer, 1835-1910)   

Manifesting Abundance

“Where man sees lack, lack manifests. Where man sees abundance, abundance is supplied.”         

–Darwin Gross (American Spiritual Teacher, Musician and, from 1971-1983, Leader of Eckankar, 1928-)
