Entering Into Reality
“As gold purified in the furnace, rids itself of dross and reaches the quality of its own self, so the mind ridding itself of the dross of substance, force and darkness, through meditation, enters into reality.”
–Shankara (a.k.a. Adi Shankaracharya, Indian Sage, Spiritual Teacher and Author of the Crest-Jewel of Discrimination, Dates Uncertain, but c.A.D. 686-718 or 788-821)
Seeing Your Life As It Truly Is
“Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God’s goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?”
–Albert Schweitzer (Alsatian-born Theologian, Philosopher, Mission Doctor and, in 1952, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, 1875-1965)
Your Life Is More Than A Piece of Existence
“Inconceivable as it seems to ordinary reason, this life of yours is not merely a piece of the entire existence but is, in a certain sense, the whole.”
–Erwin Schrödinger Austrian Physicist and, in 1933, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, 1887-1961
