Kabir - Between

Between the poles of the conscious and the unconscious, There has the mind made a swing: Thereon hang all beings and all worlds, And that swing never ceases its sway.

The Pulse of God The limbs of a tree reached down and lifted me, Thinking I was its child And in the meadows my spirit becomes so quiet that if I put my cheek against the earth's body I feel the pulse of God. "Tell me the way you do that, birds-- enter the private chambers of my Lord." And they all sang, they just sang. I gathered it was time to become a musician, and I did.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I go into the garden with a spade, and dig a bed, I feel such an exhilaration and health that I discover that I have been defrauding myself all this time in letting others do for me what I should have done with my own hands. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882) Sign in to see full entry.

Swami (Papa) Ramdas

Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram Each one holds within themselves the seed of infinite power. This seed is the origin of heavens and earth - of the whole world and the creatures in it.

One’s weakness is conquered and inexhaustible strength manifests instead. One’s ignorance is dispelled and one’s heart is illumined with Divine knowledge. Doubt... Sign in to see full entry.
