catch the tone...

Amidst this chaos there is harmony,
throughout these discordant sounds there is a note of concord,
and he who is prepared to listen to it will catch the tone.

Swami Vivekananda

cosmic understanding...

To reach cosmic understanding,
it is necessary to unite our feeling with that infinite feeling that penetrates everything.
In fact, for man, true progress coincides with the breadth of the base of our feelings.
All our poetry, philosophy, science, art, and religion
serve to embrace with our understanding
the spheres too vast and high.

Rabindranath Tagore

a unification...

When water joins with water,
it is not a meeting but a unification.

Swami Prajnanpad

The Great Hope...

All the responsibility of good and evil in on you. This is the great hope.
What I have done, that I can undo.

Swami Vivekananda

The language of the finite...

The whole universe is to us a writing of the Infinite
in the language of the finite.

One Blood

In your veins, and in mine, there is only one blood,
The same life that animates us all!
Since one unique mother begat us all,
Where did we learn to divide ourselves?

Kabir

understanding of the soul...

The key to cosmic awareness, to a consciousness of God,
is in the understanding of the soul.

Rabindranath Tagore

see God in yourself

If you see God within every man and woman,
then you can never do harm to any man or woman.
If you see God in yourself, then you attain perfection.

The Bhagavad Gita
