NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1209

 

• ·       Virtue is better than vice, truth is better than falsehood, kindness than brutality. These like love never fail. - Quintin Hogg

  ·       Give people the benefit of the doubt. — Brooke

  ·       “Modern man is perplexed by the thought of talking things over with God in a purely personal way. Many have abandoned regular praying; they only pray when under unusual pressure—in emergencies. Man should be unafraid to talk to God.”

  ·       I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it. - William Shakespeare

  ·       “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” ~ Albert Camus, Author and Philosopher

  ·       “Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows ‘I am’. No one can deny his own being. The man in deep sleep is not aware; while awake he seems to be aware. But it is the same person. There is no change in the one who slept and the one who is now awake. In deep sleep he was not aware of his body and so there was no body-consciousness. In the wakeful state, he is aware of his body and so there is body-consciousness. Therefore the difference lies in the emergence of body-consciousness and not in any change in the real consciousness.”

  ·       “The idea of time is only in your mind. It is not in the Self. There is no time for the Self. Time arises as an idea after the ego arises. But you are the Self beyond time and space. You exist even in the absence of time and space.”

  ·       “The ego-self appears and collapses and is transitory, whereas the real Self is permanent. Though you are actually true Self, you wrongly identify the real Self with the ego-self.”
