Immediately after Meditating, while the mind is clear and open, it is good practise to reflect on a few words of wisdom.  Such daily practise can build a foundation of extraordinary insight.  Here is a selection, added to daily, that you may find rewarding on your journey of ‘inner sight’.

~~~~~~~~~

How foolish I am to think my sole purpose in life is constructed out of solving problems, when it is I alone am their author.

Why cry for the rose 🌹 that lost its petals in the evening winds?  The beauty that was, a brief moment of ‘love made visible’,  lives endlessly on in heart and soul.

The light of wisdom: Contemplate on what the mind cannot grasp and there you will find yourself… Drop your question into that space – there it will find its mate

The Soul is undivided, yet lives in division
“My Soul and your Soul are very old friends” – Rumi

In the darkness, empty of all but yourSelf am I, that you are, the light and soul of Eternity

Your natural talent is God’s gift to you, what you do with it, is your gift to God.
– Source unknown

Happiness: You cannot seek happiness; it’s simply there when suffering subsides, and suffering subsides when its cause is gone 

Humour is the bridge between what I think I am and knowing that it’s not at all

I keep trying to land such a slippery fish, and it escapes me every time… This fish I named, ‘Realisation’

The wings of grace are none other than yourself-in-flight…

Dwelling on memories of past, pleasures and pains hook you like a hungry fish and separates you from the waters of here and now

None but mySelf: Through this body, I am I, myself experiencing myself

From seeds planted in the womb of God, nature manifests its beauty.
And beauty is but Love made visible.

Bring your mind to rest: Just ask yourself… “This thought I have, does it belong here, now?”

I am l – I cannot know myself, for I am the Self that knows. I am Self beyond birth or death. ‘I am’ is but an image… I am I, the Eternal Self beyond the image… nothing more, nothing less… All there is – I AM

Become the world you want to be, And the world will follow you, for the world ‘is’ yourself… One-and-the-same

To know you is to love you, for you are the sole of my Soul, the light of my light…

When you know the truth, not in words but in the ‘knowing’, then you can speak in the language of the ear that hears

In total darkness, devoid of all belief, thought and opinion, the light of truth will appear

To master yourself is to be master of that which is not

Pain and pleasure held in memory feeds attachment, imagination, and generates desire and fear – break the cycle

There are no levels of enlightenment, only levels of ignorance – see it for what it is and ignorance will be no more

A wise man never crosses the same river twice, for he is not the same man, nor is it the same river… An enlightened man never crosses the rivers, for he is the river, and the river is he. Even wisdom must go

The Meditation of action: Whatever you do, whatever the act, look closely and you will see three forces within – Will, desire and fear… Will is Divine… desire and fear only pervert the course of Will… Follow the course of Will, make life a meditation – you will know it when you see it

Your problem is, ‘You spend your life forever wanting more. Stop… And you will find ‘The forever’ you have been looking for

We talk of ‘Oneness’ and yet we do everything to separate ourselves… We are full of judgement, good or bad, which is just another way of separating ourselves. Where there is judgement, where is love?

This timeless moment: Try to grasp it and it’s gone; get into it and you stumble upon the timeless and you will know eternity

I am I, as the soul within this body, looks out through the eyes of infancy, youth and old age … yet remains just as it is

When I speculate that if time does not really exist, then everything is somewhere all the time. – Krishnamurti

Suffering is the crucible of wisdom. Like the heat of a potter’s fire, too much will char and just right will season it

The journey: First step is to dip your toe in the water… There is an ocean between being present… and just being

And so… I am not this, not that… but everything am I, all the time. The real Art of Living, as is a Master Sculptors craft or Master Gardner is born out of the here-and-now of Mindfulness – there is no other way… Ignorance of this only leads to error, pain and suffering – the condition of the generality of man… And so is born the compassion of the Wise

And thinking makes it so: The duality of opposites depends on each other… The opposite of bad depends on it.  Attachment and thought keeps them apart and the battle rages on.  And so, it is we that get entangled, and freedom seems a distant dream.  Let go, and the two will be as One

What do you do when you run out of things to say? Just listen… and the saying will happen all by itself – it’s called Love

Oh, why do I fly in terror from the truth? “It will destroy everything I believe in, and yet I know, it is my ultimate freedom, the end of all ignorance and the fountain of love”

I am I, the I behind the ever-changing body and mind. Never born never die, I look through the eyes of infancy, youth and old age and remain just as I am.

Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. Hard times make strong men – unknown

The pain of want: What rushes in when you first wake?
All I want is a little more than I’ll ever get…

The dance of birth and death: Not at beginning and end but from moment to moment, from this to that. Wipe the tears, for every death signals a fresh beginning and the joy of spring

None more precious than purity of mind, the way of the Soul… called Love

When all is done, do not hold back decay, but embrace growth it feeds

Real me, call my name that I may hear, and find the I, I am
