Daily Hindu Wisdom
Fire is not seen until one firestick rubs Against another, though fire is still there, Hidden in the firestick. So does the Lord Remain hidden in the body until He is revealed through the mystic mantram.
Let your body be the lower firestick; Let the mantram be the upper. Rub them Against each other in meditation And realize the Lord.
-Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Daily Muslim Wisdom
Have you not heard of people in the past who refused to believe? They have already suffered through their unbelief; and a terrible punishment awaits them. When their apostles brought them clear arguments, they said: Will mortals be our guides?’ They denied the truth, and turned their backs. But God has no need of them; he has all he needs, and he alone should be praised.
-Qur'an, At-Taghabun, Surah 64:5-6
Daily Jewish Wisdom
The Torah you heard from the mouth of a sage, esteem it as though you had heard it from Mount Sinai.
- Rabbi Helbo, Ecclesiastes Rabbah
Daily Buddhist Wisdom
A man was rowing his boat upstream on a very misty morning. Suddenly, he saw another boat coming downstream, not trying to avoid him. It was coming straight at him. He shouted, "Be careful! Be careful!" but the boat came right into him, and his boat was almost sunk. The man became very angry, and began to shout at the other person, to give him a piece of his mind. But when he looked closely, he saw that there was no one in the other boat. It turned out that the boat just got loose and went downstream. All his angel vanished, and he laughed and he laughed.
-Thich Nhat Nanh, "Being Peace"
