Grow as the flower grows, unconsciously, but eagerly anxious to open its soul to the air.

“Above the Celestial Fire there is an Incorruptible Flame, ever sparkling, Source of Life, Fountain of all Beings, and Principle of all Things. This Flame produces all, and nothing perishes save that which it consumes. It reveals itself by virtue of itself. This Fire cannot be contained in any place; it is without form and without substance, it girdles the Heavens and from it there proceeds a tiny spark which makes the whole fire of the Sun, Moon and Stars. This is what I know of God. Seek not to know more, for this passes thy comprehension howsoever wise thou mayest be. Nevertheless, know that the unjust and wicked man cannot hide himself from God, nor can craft nor excuse disguise aught from His piercing eyes. All is full of God, God is everywhere.”
— Abbé N. Montfaucon de Villars, Comte de Gabalis
Two Prayers for Alchemists, Part I
“1. Light Supreme, who art the Divine in Nature and dwellest in its innermost parts as in Heaven, hallowed be thy qualities and laws! 2. Wherever thou art, all is brought to perfection; may the realm of thy Knowledge become subject unto thee. 3. May our will in all our work be only thee, self-moving Power of Light! And as in the whole of Nature thou accomplishest all things, so accomplish all things in our work also. 4. Give us of the Dew of Heaven, and the Fat of the Earth, the Fruits of Sun and Moon from the Tree of Life. 5. And forgive us all errors which we have committed in our work without knowledge of thee, as we seek to turn from their errors those who have offended our precepts. And leave us not to our own darkness and our own science, but deliver us from all evil through the perfection of thy Work, Amen.”
— Karl von Eckartshausen

Understand this well: there is something holy, something divine, hidden in the most ordinary situations, and it is up to each one of you to discover it.
St. Josemaria Escriva
“Comprende esto bien: hay algo santo, algo divino, escondido en las situaciones más comunes, y depende de cada uno de ustedes descubrirlo”.
San Josemaría Escrivá

If I have ventured wrongly, very well, life then helps me with its penalty. But if I haven’t ventured at all, who helps me then?

The awakened Consciousness who has the fire of prajna burning inside of it, directly perceives, not though the mind, not through thought, but sees it, that everything that we see is temporary, illusion, will pass away. The one who has real prajna, who has bodhichitta in their heart sees that, not with despair, not with hopelessness, not with nihilism, but with love. This is the meaning of a real Bodhisattva. You see, a Bodhisattva who works through these twelve labors, represented in the letter Lamed, and fully develops the soul to reach that absolute perfection, does not seek to escape the world. It sounds contradictory to us. If prajna is to see that the world is illusion, why would you want to stay in it? It does not make sense to the mind. But it makes sense to the heart, because, through the wisdom of prajna, through that comprehension, that Bodhisattva sees all of us. That Bodhisattva sees that all of us suffer in that illusion. That we believe very much in this identity, this cage that we have made with our own hands, this cage, which we call our sense of self, which is a lie. And they see how much we suffer, because of the lies we tell ourselves. That is why the Bodhisattvas who acquire prajna, who acquire comprehension of the Absolute nature of reality, return. They come back, out of compassion. They come back to radiate that light of comprehension. It is not sentimental, “I feel bad for you.” It is not that. The real Bodhisattva comes back with a sword.
Gnostic Instructor (via thatwhichdoesnotsuffer)
In this intermediate state, that is beyond good and evil, we receive that illumination that will make us harmless to our neighbors, harmless in that we will neither oppose them by force nor by argument. This is the wisdom that some of the great Masters use when dealing with humanity. This consciousness makes us indifferent to people and things. This is not a callous state, for we are more sensitive to their pain and sufferings than ever, but we can see deeper and help with greater understanding; for, if we would be of use to this world, there comes a time when we must detach ourselves from it.
The Dayspring of Youth by M (via thatwhichdoesnotsuffer)
“We can only escape from the world by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among worldly things.”
—Manly P. Hall
“Virtue and wisdom are sublime things, but if they create pride and a consciousness of separateness from the rest of humanity, they are only the snakes of self reappearing in a finer form.”
— Helena Blavatsky
