Songs of Enlightenment Quotes

“Colliding with the bright light
Of my true self,
My illusions scream loudly,
Themselves illusions
Created by other illusions,
Finally knowing that
Deep within me
Beneath the shell
Lies the sacred beauty
Of my true self.”
― Ilchi Lee, Songs of Enlightenment

To know what it is.

“Prayer of Peace
I offer this prayer of peace
Not to the Christian God
Nor to the Buddhist God
Nor to the Islamic God
Nor to the Jewish God
But to the God of all humanity.
For the peace that we wish for
Is Not a Christian peace
Nor a Buddhist peace
Nor an Islamic peace
Nor a Jewish peace
But a human peace
For all of us.
I offer this prayer of peace
To the God that lives within all of us
That fills us with happiness and joy
To make us whole
And help us understand life
As an expression of love for all human beings.
For no religion can be better
Than any other religion
For no truth can be truer
Than any other truth
For no nation can be bigger
Than the earth itself.
Help us all go beyond
Our small limits
And realize that we are one
That we are all from the earth.
That we are all earth people
Before we are Indians, Koreans, or Americans.

God made the earth
We humans have to make it prosper
By realizing that we are of the earth
And not of any nation, race, or religion,
By knowing that we are truly one
In our spiritual heritage.
Let us now apologize
To all humanity
For the hurt that religions have caused,
So that we can heal the hurt
Let us now promise to one another
To go beyond egotism and competition
To come together as one in God.
I offer this prayer of peace
To you the almighty
To help us find you within all of us
So that we may stand proudly
One day before you
As one humanity.
I offer this prayer of peace
With all my fellow earth people
For a lasting peace on earth.
Ilchi Lee originally wrote and read this prayer at the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders on August 28th, 2000.”

I see it just over there
Right there.”

“Limitations are possibilities . . .
Opportunities to perceive ourselves
Beyond our present selves . . .”

“Nothing of heaven or earth
Can take this heart
Filled with love
Nothing of heaven or earth
Can divide us
From cosmic energy”
― Ilchi Lee, Songs of Enlightenment

“Inside your heart
A golden flower blossoms;
Inside of me
And inside of you
Never dying . . .
This flower of your soul”
― Ilchi Lee, Songs of Enlightenment

“Truth and effort may increase human worth
But they are not enough to make us whole;
Only love can complete us.”
― Ilchi Lee, Songs of Enlightenment

“I had thought so once
That it was I who saw in your eyes
The raindrops pinging on the windows;
Hearing only with ears
The stars and the rain;
Now that I truly open my eyes and ears
I realize that I am myself the stars and the rain.”
― Ilchi Lee, Songs of Enlightenment

“Heaven is dancing
Dancing and laughing,
Ocean and land
Are dancing along,
Undulating to the breath of the sky.”
