The Way to Enlightenment Quotes

“Likewise, we see that we are not our changing thoughts.  Not one of our thoughts is permanently within us.  On the contrary, our ideas and beliefs can move in and out of our awareness faster than we can process them.  So when we see we do not have separate bodies or minds, what else do we see?  We see that we are interconnected beings, and that we are present within what is.  We are no longer attached to a belief that separates us from all.  Our senses are no longer distorted by attachment to ideas, thoughts and labels.”

“When we see that we are not disconnected from everything else, we also see that we are not our changing bodies.  We are not our changing bodies because nothing in our biological makeup is permanent.  We are conglomerates, and all conglomerates must dissolve.  Every nerve, muscle and bone in our bodies is changing and aging.  Our bodies are unable to exist separately from everything else.  Our bodies are unable to exist separately from what exists in everything else.  We cannot exist without matter, air, water, space and fire.  Without that which makes up the rest of nature, we cannot exist.”

“God and the rest of us are not disconnected separate beings from all.  We certainly are not all of all; but if we are part of all, we must be contained in all.  The distortions taught to us by others, who claim to know what cannot be known, separate us from all.  Can we live within the "Great Mystery" of seeing that we are not separate entities, but at the same time can we live without knowing where we came from?  All of our suffering comes from the inability to clearly see that we are not separate.”

“Rumi (Persian poet of the 13th Century) in a poem translated by Coleman Barks states: "Don't you realize how close to God you are?"   We could interpret Rumi's  "God" as being the Christian God, the Islamic, God (Allah), or the Jewish God, (Jehovah) or whatever else we choose to call our speculation of who "God" is.   The meaning of Rumi is clear, don't we see that we are part of this all or "God."   In another poem called "I AM the One!"  Rumi writes, "God himself lives inside this (Rumi's) patched cloak."  Here Rumi is saying that all that is created exists within him.  Therefore if “God” exists in Rumi, then “God” exists in all of us.”
