Respect the Life Force
“Practice being gentle, respectful and loving towards the life force in all things.”
–Wayne Dyer (American Author and Inspirational Speaker, 1940-)
Salvation Through Love
“I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.”
–Viktor E. Frankl (Austrian Psychiatrist, 1905-1997)
Understanding the Person You Want to Love
“We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.”
–Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, 1926-)
“Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life” (Thich Nhat Hanh)
Infinite Love
“All the great seers teach that God in himself is infinite love – that his manifestation, form or body is infinite wisdom – that divine love is the self-subsisting life of the universe.”
–Richard Maurice Bucke (Canadian Psychiatrist, Mystic and Writer, 1837-1902)
Saints
“Saints are the great teachers of the loving-kindness and fascination with God.”
–Evelyn Underhill (English Mystic, Poet, Writer and Spiritual Counselor, 1875-1941)
Knowing the Divine
“Human things must be known to be loved: but Divine things must be loved to be known.”
–Blaise Pascal (French Scientist and Religious Philosopher, 1623-1662)
The Law of Love
“All disease, all unhappiness, come from the violation of the law of love. Man’s boomerangs of hate, resentment and criticism, come back laden with sickness and sorrow. Love seems almost a lost art, but the man with the knowledge of spiritual law knows it must be regained, for without it, he has “become as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals.”
–Florence Scovel Shinn (American Artist, Metaphysics Teacher and Author, 1871-1940)
