"His Majesty couldn't grant us a greater favor
than to give us a life that would be an
imitation of the life his beloved Son lived.
Thus I hold for certain that these favors are
meant to fortify our weakness, that we may
be able to imitate him in his great sufferings."
Saint Teresa of Avila
"He who disobeys [the Principle of Nature] violates virtue.
He who destroys humanity is a robber. He who promotes
evil lacks [moral] capacity. But he who puts his moral
nature into practice and brings his physical existence into
complete fulfillment can match [Heaven and Earth]."
Chang Tsai
“Said by God: Think all the world as nothing and prefer My
service before all things, for you cannot have your mind fixed
on Me and at the same time delight in transitory pleasure."
Thomas a Kempis
"There is no action, Either present, future, or past, Which has
been performed or enjoyed by me. This I know, without any
doubt."
Avadhuta Gita
"In the original substance of the mind there is no
distinction of good and evil. When the will becomes
active, however, such distinction exists. The faculty of
innate knowledge is to know good and evil. The
investigation of things is to do good and to remove evil."
Wang Yangming
"You are the supreme Brahman, infinite, yet
hidden in the hearts of all creatures. You
pervade everything."
Upanishads
"All beings are the owners of their deeds (kamma, Skr:
karma), the heirs of their deeds: their deeds are the womb
from which they sprang, with their deeds they are bound
up, their deeds are their refuge. Whatever deeds they do-
good or evil-of such they will be the heirs."
Buddha Sakyamuni
"Those "devout" souls who knew that no one can be
really devout in relation to God, if he is not devout
toward His creation, and that the love of God is unreal,
unless it is crowned with love for one's fellow men."
Martin Buber
"For God to be perceived by the soul, she must be
blind. Therefore, he (Saint Paul) says, "He saw the
Nothing” from whose light all lights come, from whose
essence all essence comes."
Meister Eckhart
"Who knows his soul knows his Lord."
Rumi
