Hinduism Wisdom: 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

Hinduism Wisdom: 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.

 

- Bhagavad Gita 9:26-28

Hindu Quotes: Pure of Heart

 

The man who is pure of heart

 Is bound to fulfill himself

 In whatever way he is taught.

 You are free.

 

 Attached, you are bound.

 

 When this is understood,

 You may live as you please.
