Daily Hindu Wisdom
I am neither the mind, the intellect, nor the silent voice within;
Neither the eyes, the ears, the nose, nor the mouth.
I am not water, fire, earth, nor ether—
I am Consciousness and Bliss.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
-Shankaracharya
Daily Muslim Wisdom
The heart's recollection is the summons of the spirit-bird to divine attraction, just as the huntsman whistles to the ravenous prey he pursues with sounds which promise it food. Any remembrance of God that lacks such a summons has no value, and is deprived of any trace of divine recognition.
-Najm Al-Din Kubra: "Al-'usul al-'asharat"
Daily Jewish Wisdom
My friend is he who will tell me my fault in private.
- Ibn Gabirol, Mibhar HaPeninim
Daily Buddhist Wisdom
As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world. But if we are prevented from using our creative potential, we are deprived of one of the basic characteristics of a human being.
