“Materialism reinforces a “paradigm of scarcity”: there is not enough to go around, so we are doomed to fight one another for ever-diminishing resources. Spiritual economics begins not from the assumed scarcity of matter but from the verifiable infinitude of consciousness.”
Eknath Easwaran, THE UPANISHADS
“As Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century
English anchoress and mystic, wrote, “We wot that our parents do but bear us into death. A strange thing, that.” Birth is but the beginning of a trajectory to death; for all their love, parents cannot halt it and in a sense have “given us to death” merely by giving us birth.”
Eknath Easwaran, THE UPANISHADS
“The Self is hidden in the lotus of the heart. Those who see themselves in all creatures go day by day into the world of Brahman hidden in the heart.”
Eknath Easwaran, THE UPANISHADS
“Whatever they desire, the object of that desire arises from the power of their own thoughts; they have it and are happy.”
Eknath Easwaran, THE UPANISHADS
