Dear soul, Love alone cuts arguments short,
for it alone comes to the rescue
when you cry for help against disputes.
Eloquence is dumbfounded by Love: it dares not wrangle,
for the lover fears that, if he answers back,
the pearl of inner experience might fall out of his mouth.
Rumi
The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the soul of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend in only the most primitive form. The cosmic religious experience is the strongest and oldest mainspring of scientific research.
My religion exists of a humble admiration of the inimitable superior spirit who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of the superior reasoning power which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe forms my idea of God.
Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless, but because they know their faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and are ever ready to correct themselves. I look to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.
Mahatma Gandhi
Your Mother is in you, and you in Her. She bore you; She gives you life. It was She who gave to you your body and to Her shall you one day give it back again. Happy are you when you come to know Her and Her kingdom; if you receive your Mother’s angels and if you do Her laws. I tell you truly, he who does these things shall never see disease. For the power of our Mother is above all. And it destroys Satan and his kingdom, and has rule over all your bodies and all living things.
Lord Jesus (from The Gospel of the Essenes)
