“Prayer is a light, charity is proof of faith, and patience is illumination.”

— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

In service is thy elevation
In sharing is thy expansion
In prayer is thy purification
In meditation is thy illumination
In wisdom is thy salvation
Serve, share, pray, meditate, realise.

– Sri Swami Sadananda

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

― Lao Tzu

“The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to a higher possession of their own being.”

– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

“Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.

We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.

And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually — let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste.

Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be.

Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.”

– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

“Nature is not matter only,
She is also a spirit.”

– Carl Jung

“Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, ‘Be more silent.’ Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you’ve died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.

Live in silence.”

– Rumi

“Try something different. Surrender.”

– Rumi

– Maya Angelou
