Hindu Wisdoms: Formless

Hindu Quotes: Formless

 

 Whatever takes form is false.

 Only the formless endures.

 

 When you understand

 The truth of this teaching,

 You will not be born again.

 

 For God is infinite,

 Within the body and without,

 Like a mirror,

 And the image in a mirror.

 

 As the air is everywhere,

 Flowing around a pot

 And filling it,

 So God is everywhere,

 Filling all things

 And flowing through them forever.

 

- Ashtavakra Gita 1: 18-20

 One without two,

 I am always the same.

 

 I sit in my heart.

Hindu Wisdoms: True Seeker

Hindu Quotes: True Seeker

 

The true seeker feels no elation,

 Even in that exalted state

 Which Indra and all the gods

 Unhappily long for.

 

 He understands the nature of things.

 

 His heart is not smudged

 By right or wrong,

 As the sky is not smudged by smoke.

 

- Ashtavakra Gita 4: 2-3

Hindu Wisdoms: Be Freed From the Bondage of Karma

Hindu Quotes: Be Freed From the Bondage of Karma

 

Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart--a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water--I partake of that love offering. Whatever you do, make it an offering to me--the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering. In this way you will be freed from the bondage of karma, and from its results both pleasant and painful. Then, firm in renunciation and yoga, with your heart free, you will come to me.
