Daily Hindu Wisdom
I am not detachment nor salvation, Nor anything reached by the senses; I am behold all thought and form. I am everywhere, and nowhere at all- I am Consciousness and Bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
-Shankaracharya
Daily Muslim Wisdom
The Almighty Allah says, "When a servant thinks of Me, I am near. When he invokes Me, I am with him. If he reflects on Me in secret, I reply in secret, And if he acknowledges Me in an assembly, I acknowledge him in a far superior assembly."
-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Abu Hurairah
Daily Torah and Jewish Wisdom
Do not try to identify the Tree of Knowledge. Heaven forfend that we cast suspicion on any tree!
- Joshua b. Levi, Talmud: Yoma
Daily Buddhist Wisdom
As a blind man feels when he finds a pearl in a dustbin, so am I amazed by the miracles of awakening rising in my consciousness. It is the nectar of immortality that delivers us from death, the treasure that lifts us from death, the treasure that lifts us above poverty into the wealth of giving to life, the tree that gives shade to us when we roam about scorched by life, the bridge that takes us across the stormy river of life, the cool moon of compassion that calms our mind when it is agitated, the fun that dispels darkness, the butter made from the milk of kindness by churning it with the dharma. It is a feast of joy to which all are invited.
-adapted from the Bodhicharyavatara by Shantideva
