Life is But a Dream

I'm on a journey to nowhere

[primordialsoundmeditation]

Oh my heart, don’t become discouraged so easily. Have faith. In the hidden world, there are many mysteries, many wonders. Even if the whole planet threatens your life, don’t let go of the Beloved’s robe for even a breath. ~ Rumi

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.

​Ram Dass, Love Serve Remember (via abiding-in-peace)

You can go to the Himalayas, to Mecca, to Kashi, or anywhere you like, but you will not find him anywhere, because he is here, everywhere, just as the seed is now in the whole tree... - Osho

[dazeuniverse]

But you cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it, just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To “have” running water you must let go of it and let it run.

I am not this hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within.

Remember the Beloved so much that you are forgotten. Let the caller and the called disappear; be lost in the Call.

Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.

Eckhart Tolle (via shaktilover)

[lazyyogi]

Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it.

Osho (via lazyyogi)

[itsmeandnotme]

Put your thoughts to sleep Let them not cast a shadow Over the moon of your heart. Drown them in the sea of love.

[itsmeandnotme]

When a true lover appears, Calamities blaze up. I like a heart that can stir the seven seas fearlessly withstanding the waves. I like a lover with a fiery heart burning even hell to ashes. I like a heart that can wrap the universe around its hand, catching the eternal light Hanging it like an icicle. I like a lover with a heart as large as the world Who fights like a lion, not only with others but with himself, A lover who shatters the veils of all hearts with the blazing light of Truth.

Rumi

[itsmeandnotme]

The body is like a pot with the lid on, Lift the lid to see if it is filled with the Water of Life or the poison of death. Focus on the contents and you will become a master, Focus on the pot and you will be misguided. Your eyes only see the body while the spiritual eye perceives the soul.

[itsmeandnotme]

One kiss from my mischievous lover kindled a thousand raging fires and Left me numb and burning with passion. Now mad and longing for another kiss, I run faster than my heartbeat. What could have happened, I wonder, If he had kissed me six or seven times?

[itsmeandnotme]

You stretch your legs comfortably On the sweet bed of this earth Unaware that it is only borrowed

[itsmeandnotme]

Questioning cannot unravel the secret of truth nor giving away your wealth and position. Mere words do not exalt the heart Pain is the price that the heart has to pay.

Rumi

[itsmeandnotme]

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
