Poetry

There is no difference in the destination,
the only difference is in the journey.

- Inayat Khan

I see now
that all creatures
have perfect enlightenment
- but they do not know it.

- Buddha

Until you become an unbeliever in your own self,
you cannot become a believer in god.

- Shaikh Abu-Said Abil-Khair

The important thing is not to think much,
but to love much;
and so, do that which best stirs you to love.

- Saint Teresa of Avila

All the violence, fear and suffering
that exists in this world
comes from grasping at "self".
What use is this great monster to you?
if you do not let go of the "self",
there will never be an end to your suffering.

- Shantideva

In the pursuit of learning,
every day something is acquired.
in the pursuit of Tao,
every day something is dropped.

- Lao Tzu
