Sayings of the Wise


Peace and Wisdom

Peace and goodness will happen because we know and act through the spirit of wisdom. The study of wisdom leads to good thoughts, then to good contemplation, then good practice, good words, and then good deeds - then harmony, health and wellbeing.  If it is not that, then back to the beginning and start over.

From the Book of the Happy Buddha


Perpetual Love

Love that forms between the soul and the spirit in man forms over time a Self-consciousness that feels more and more to be growing in an invisible spiritual stream of light.  This self-discovery itself in itself and forms thoughts, ideas, and moves between realms of time and space to the imperishable and incomprehensible. 

It is here and there. It is the source of anxiety in those that are called by it. By understanding it, nurturing it, and loving its power, one is by degrees led into the higher realms above the world below.  

To create from it new time, new space, new vitality, is also to discover it is self propagating, and forms the basis for perpetual love and knowledge. 


Philosophy and Science

You cannot be a scientist if you merely interpret nature; you have to investigate the very tool which you use for that interpretation - this tool is thinking.

Rudolf.Steiner


Poetry of Wisdom

Wisdom makes the opportunity for us to hear spirit poetry play up within us and to sing beautiful thoughts as a breath of life into our inner atmosphere.

From the Book of Wisdom


Prayer of My Heart.

Make my soul Thy temple!
Make my heart Thine altar!
Make my love Thy home!

May Thy love shine forever on the sanctuary of my devotion,
and may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.

Paramhansa Yogananda
