Spiritual Littering Quotes

Spiritual littering contaminates knowledge. ~ Shon Mehta

Religion of the Self [Soul] is that where no difficulty or trouble arises for anyone or any living being of 'our' own accord. ~ Dada Bhagwan

The idea that consciousness is the ground of being is the basis of all spiritual traditions. ~ Amit Goswami

A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. On the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic and social institutions, a holy force - the power of wisdom and love in action - is born. This force I define as Sacred Activism. ~ Andrew Harvey

He has forgotten how to hope. This hell of the present is his Kingdom at last. All problems recover their sharp edge. Abstract evidence retreats before the poetry of forms and colors.

Shotwell

In this era, there are all kinds of prakrutis (personality of the relative self), so how can it work without adjusting? ~ Dada Bhagwan

It is very possible to acknowledge another person's concerns without entering into their vibration. ~ Alaric Hutchinson

More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. - EPHESIANS 6:12 ~ Frank E. Peretti

The prime objective of all Initiatory music in the Temples of Antiquity was to bring about physical purification and renewal, mental stimulation and alertness, spiritual exhilaration and Illumination. ~ Ambrose

What we do with Him now, we will be for all eternity. In His eternity He came to die our death and give us His eternity. His eternity requires no sun or moon or seasons or days. His is an eternal day without time. He is the Light. He is the source of all our needs. In Him is no darkness. As we have the light of the sun, we can also have the light of the Son. One provides for the natural, One for the spiritual. ~ Charles S. Price

What has God called a religion? Renunciation is not religion. To be free of anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays) is religion; or to have feeble (tamed) kashays is religion. That's all. Only these two are religion. ~ Dada Bhagwan

Feed my lambs, shepherd my sheep. ~ Anonymous

Like everything else in life, these questions have no easy answers. ~ P. Wish

The spiritual life, in other words, is not achieved by denying one part of life for the sake of another. The spiritual life is achieved only by listening to all of life and learning to respond to each of its dimensions wholly and with integrity. ~ Joan D. Chittister

Searching, pondering, and applying the words of Christ as taught in the scriptures will bring wisdom and knowledge beyond our mortal understanding. This will strengthen our commitment and provide the spiritual reserves to do our best in all situations. ~ Dean M. Davies

Man is a little world--a microcosm inside the great universe. Like a fetus, he is suspended, by all his three spirits, in the matrix of the macrocosmos; and while his terrestrial body is in constant sympathy with its parent earth, his astral soul lives in unison with the sidereal anima mundi. He is in it, as it is in him, for the world-pervading element fills all space, and is space itself, only shoreless and infinite. As to his third spirit, the divine, what is it but an infinitesimal ray, one of the countless radiations proceeding directly from the Highest Cause--the Spiritual Light of the World? This is the trinity of organic and inorganic nature--the spiritual and the physical, which are three in one, and of which Proclus says that 'The first monad is the Eternal God; the second, eternity; the third, the paradigm, or pattern of the universe;' the three constituting the Intelligible Triad. ~ Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Sometimes people's spiritual ideas become fixed and they use them against those who don't share their beliefs - in effect, becoming fundamentalist. It's very dangerous - the finger of righteous indignation pointing at someone who is identified as bad or wrong. ~ Pema Chodron

The work of God can only be carried on by the power of God. The key is not $, organization, cleverness or education. No matter the society or culture, the city or town, God has never lacked the power to work through available people to glorify his name. ~ Jim Cymbala

One reason why we fail to hear God speak is that we are not attentive. We suffer from what might be called 'spiritual mindlessness.' ~ John Ortberg

Rather than the one who gets angry, the world is more afraid of the one who does not get angry. Why? When anger ceases, grandeur of authority (pratap) arises. Such is the law of nature. Otherwise there would never be any protection for those who don't get angry. Anger provides protection during one's conduct in ignorance of the self. ~ Dada Bhagwan

Go into the heart of love, and come from that place in all your choices and decisions, and you will find peace. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

And when we go to church, read our Bibles, have our quiet times, and go to Christian conferences, we too can build some impressive spiritual muscles, but unless we use those spiritual muscles to change our lives, build the church, love our neighbors, and care for the sick and the poor, we ... are just posers. Let us not take God's truth for granted. ~ Richard Stearns

A pastor really needs to be broken before God every day, or he will break up the church of God with his willfulness or let it slip into spiritual death through his sloth. ~ C. John Miller
