Activate yourself.
Feel the life and intelligence coursing through you.
You are an immeasurably powerful being.
You are worthy.
You are Divine.
Listen deeply.
The answers you seek are within you, waiting for you to uncover them.

Find your own enlightenment.
Do not become dogmatic about anything.
Do not assume you have found the Final Answers.
Always retain a Beginner’s Mind that can reshape itself as new discoveries emerge.
Investigate what is true for yourself, by looking inside yourself.

your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
Buddha
Everyone has a purpose in life ... a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.
Kahlil Gibran
Book: The Prophet
What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
American author,
poet and philosopher
...The Sanskrit word for "your purpose in life" is dharma. According to the Law of Dharma, we each have unique talents that we are here to discover. When we express those talents, we find joy. According to the law, we are most likely to discover those talents when we ask: "What can I give?" rather than: "What can I get?"..."

BOOK: Follow your Heart
“There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”
— Miyamoto Musashi
If you are bent by a thousand misfortunes,
Take hold of the Hand of God and rise,
Up from this deep, dark well.
A wise man knows with his reason
That throughout the land the saving Hand of God of heaven and earth
Is one who descends from Fāṭima.
O sick and suffering one!
Do not foolishly leave the door of this physician.
Dai Nasir-i Khusraw, from the poem: "The Healing Hand".

"When asked about what you do not know, do not be ashamed to say you do not know; and when you do not know something, do not be embarrassed to learn it."
Mawlana Ali (a.s.), excerpt from Nahj al-Balagha
---------------------X------------------X--------------In praise of Hazrat Ali
The Prophet said to him [Hazrat Ali]
(Our Mowla Bapa):
‘O Light of my eyes, we were both created from one light.’ Since Ali is
of one light with the Prophet, they are as one person, with no trace of duality.
As the gate to the city of knowledge, he is with good reason the gatekeeper of paradise.”
Farid al-Din Attar in Ilahi-Nama (Book of God)
Your soul is pure love.
Its substance is made of light.
Every moment you let in love, you are opening your heart to experience your soul. Every moment you give love, you are letting your soul express its love through you.
Recognize that your soul
is a part of you.
Realize that your soul is not separate from you; it is a part of you. As you make soul contact, you are getting to know yourself as a soul. You are expanding your consciousness to experience your soul's greater light, wisdom, and love.
Sanya Roman“When you are causing suffering to others, you are causing suffering to yourself.”
"Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.”
“The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.”
“We’re all just walking each other home.”
“We’re here to awaken from the illusion of separateness.”
Ram DassMind
“Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.”
“For there is never anything but the present, and if one cannot live there, one cannot live anywhere.”
“Society is our extended mind and body.”
Alan Watts
“A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.”
Alan Watts
Your lure is love, and when the jess is tied,
Submit, and be for ever satisfied.
Give up the intellect for love and see
In one brief moment all eternity;
Break nature’s frame, be resolute and brave,
Then rest at peace in Unity’s black cave.
Rejoice in that close, undisturbed dark air --
The Prophet will be your companion there.
Farid al-Din Attar, excerpt from Conference of the Birds (lines 638-645)
“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be One.”
“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.”
Marcus Aurelius
-------------------x-------------------x---------------------------------------X------------------------“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own…”
Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4–5
“Choose not to be harmed and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed and you haven’t been.”

“Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day. … The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never
short of time.”
Seneca
In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah”
Waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.”
