ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –“Another artist, recognising a higher power above, gladly works as a humble apprentice beneath God’s heaven; then, however, his responsibility for everything that is written or drawn, for the souls which perceive his work, is more exacting than ever. But, in return, it is not he who has created this world, not he who directs it, there is no doubt as to its foundations; the artist has merely to be more keenly aware than others of the harmony of the world, of the beauty and ugliness of the human contribution to it, and to communicate this acutely to his fellow-men. And in misfortune, and even at the depths of existence in destitution, in prison, in sickness — his sense of stable harmony never deserts him.”
ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –“One artist sees himself as the creator of an independent spiritual world;… but he crumples beneath it, for a mortal genius is not capable of bearing such a burden. Just as man in general, having declared himself the centre of existence, has not succeeded in creating a balanced spiritual system. And if misfortune overtakes him, he casts the blame upon the age-long disharmony of the world, upon the complexity of today’s ruptured soul, or upon the stupidity of the public.”

ALEXIS CARREL –“Prayer is the most powerful energy one can generate. It is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. In prayer, human beings seek to augment their finite energy by addressing themselves to the Infinite source of all energy. When we pray, we link ourselves with the inexhaustible motive power that spins the universe…Whenever we address God in fervent prayer; we change both soul and body for the better. It could not happen that any man or woman could pray for a single moment without some good result.”

AL-GHAZALI –“The purpose of music, considered in relation to God, is to arouse longing for Him and passionate love towards Him and to produce states in which He reveals Himself and shows His favour, which are beyond description and are known only by experience, and, by the Sufis, these states are called ‘ecstasy’. The human spirit is so affected by that rhythm, that music is the cause to it of longing and joy and sorrow and ‘expansion’ (inbisat) and ‘contraction’ (inqibad), but he who is dull of hearing and unresponsive and hard of heart, is debarred from this joy.”
AL-HALLAJ –“I have meditated on the different religions, endeavouring to understand them, and I have found that they stem from a single principle with numerous ramifications. Do not therefore ask a man to adopt a particular religion (rather than another), for this would separate him from the fundamental principle; it is this principle itself which must come to seek him; in it are all the heights and all the meanings elucidated; then he will understand them.”

ALLAN ARMITAGE –“There are many tired gardeners but I’ve seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart. Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realised. The one absolute of gardeners is faith. Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year’s will be better. It is easy to age when there is nothing to believe in, nothing to hope for; gardeners, however, simply refuse to grow up.”

AMIR KHUSRAU –“I am a pagan and a worshipper of love: the creed (of Muslims) I do not need; Every vein of mine has become taunt like a wire, the (Brahman’s) girdle I do not need. Leave from my bedside, you ignorant physician! The only cure for the patient of love is the sight of his beloved — other than this no medicine does he need. If there be no pilot in our boat, let there be none: We have god in our midst: the sea we do not need. The people of the world say that Khusrau worships idols.

AMIYA ROY CHOWDHRI –“ Mahanam, God’s Name comes from deep within a person’s consciousness. Its two rhythmic sounds manifest the bipolarity of human existence.

AMIYA ROY CHOWDHRI –“If your consciousness has Him at its centre, all manifestation and non-manifestation appear as your own Self. Only one existence is perceived.

Not everyone wins all the time, as a matter of fact; no one wins all the time. Winning is the easy part, losing is really tough. But, you learn more from one loss than you do from a million wins. You learn a lot about sportsmanship. I mean, it’s really tough to shake the hand of someone who just beat you, and it’s even harder to do it with a smile. If you can learn to do this and push through that pain, you will remember what that moment is like the next time you win and have a better sense of how those competitors around you feel. This experience will teach you a lot on and off the field.”

ANDREW COHEN –“Although most people don’t know it yet, the age of personal or merely individual enlightenment is over. In the 21st century the context for deep, authentic, serious spirituality — which means transformational spirituality—is evolution, evolution not only of the individual but beyond the individual, The pursuit of holiness, the pursuit of enlightened consciousness, has traditionally been the path of the heroic and extraordinary individual — the holy one, the enlightened one. But now the evolutionary imperative of our time seems to be compelling us to develop beyond what we could call personal realization to something else altogether. At the frontiers of human development, consciousness itself seems to be leaping beyond the confines of individuation, dramatically revealing new, thrilling, and unimagined possibilities of higher integration.”
Andrew Cohen –“But genuine spiritual awakening is also the explosive emergence of the evolutionary impulse in human consciousness. With the submission of the ego and the surrender of the personal will, the individual becomes aware of the presence of a powerful and unyielding energy. That energy is the movement of the life-force in a self-propelled state of conscious evolution or becoming.”

ANDREW COHEN –“Soul Consciousness The soul… in most of us, desperately needs to be developed. Too many of us live in a fractured state, deeply divided against ourselves. We exist in a self-generated vacuum of moral ambiguity, where everything is relative and our attention is focused mainly on our emotional state… We need to embrace a kind of fearless vulnerability where our transparency is our strength and the living experience of connection is permanent, unbroken and inescapable.”
ANDREW COHEN –“Spiritual progress itself is part of the illusion, even though it seems real. Something has happened, I’m changing, I’m going somewhere, something is happening to me. Finally one realises that nothing happened, ever. You realise that all the drama of life was only a dream. Even the waking up.”
ANDREW COHEN –“The age of personal or individual enlightenment is over. In the 21st century, the context for deep, authentic, serious spirituality — transformational spirituality — is evolution, not only of the individual but beyond. I for those at the leading edge, the passionate pursuit and defenses of individualization have reached a dead end. The very movement toward higher development now calls for a leap beyond the personal sphere. The pursuit of enlightened consciousness has traditionally been the path of the heroic and extraordinary individual. But now the evolutionary imperative of our time seems to be compelling us to develop beyond what we could call personal realization to something else altogether. At the frontiers of human development, consciousness itself seems to be leaping beyond the confines of individuation, dramatically revealing new, thrilling, and unimagined possibilities of higher integration.”
Andrew Cohen –“The source and ground of everything that has become, and that is even now in a constant state of becoming, is that place where there is no time and where nothing ever happened. Nothing and Something cannot be separated because they are simply two sides of the same coin. That’s the meaning of non-duality and that is what enlightenment is.”
Andrew Cohen –“There are two fundamental components of the experience of enlightenment. One is the profound and overwhelming discovery of the primordial ground of reality itself. That ground is where there is no time, where the unmanifest, unborn Self abides in the consciousness of absolute zero, or no thing whatsoever. In the awakened state, that primordial ground emerges in consciousness as the direct experience of everything being perfect just as it is.”
ANDREW COHEN –“When you awaken to the creative principle, you discover that the whole point of being here is to participate fully, radically, consciously in the evolutionary process. So in what I call evolutionary enlightenment, the goal is not merely to transcend the world so that you can be free of it, but to embrace the world completely, to embrace the entire process as your own self, knowing that you are the creative principle incarnate, and you have a lot of work to do. That is why, when you relinquish the ego and say yes to the powerful impulse to evolve, you find that you are in touch with a source of strength and conviction that is boundless. As an individual, you are instantaneously liberated, simply through taking that step, but that liberation is merely a byproduct of finally embracing the awe-inspiring burden of the evolutionary process itself.”
ANDREW JACKSON –“Every good citizen makes his country’s honour his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but; as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defence and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.”

The goddess Saraswati is dressed in yellow garments and people wear yellow-coloured clothes.”
ANJLEENA KHUNGER –“It’s of no use holding others responsible for your ruin, destruction… because whatever happens to you is the result of something bad you’ve done someone, somewhere in the past.
