You have to grow from the inside out.
None can teach you,
none can make you spiritual.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.

OM: the symbol of the Three in One,
the three worlds in the Soul;
the three times, past, present, future, in Eternity;
the three Divine Powers, Creation, Preservation, Transformation,
in the one Being;
the three essences, immortality, omniscience, joy, in the one Spirit.
This is the Word, the Symbol,
of the Master and Lord, the perfected Spiritual Man.
सूफी परंपरा में ईश्वर को हमेशा प्रेमी के रूप में देखा गया है. उसका दरवाजा केवल उन लोगों के लिए ही खुलता है, जो अपने को उसके प्रेम में खो चुके होते हैं.
A life without love is of no account.
Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek,
spiritual or material, divine or mundane,
eastern or western…
divisions only lead to more divisions.
Love has no labels, no definitions.
It is what it is, pure and simple.
Love is the water of life.
And a lover is a soul of fire!
The universe turns differently when fire loves water.
You have to grow from the inside out.
None can teach you,
none can make you spiritual.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
― Swami Vivekananda

Translation:
Uplift yourself by yourself, do not deprecate yourself.
For only you are your friend, and only you are your enemy.
Meaning:
In order to progress in the spiritual path, in fact, any undertaking, we have to lift ourselves by our own efforts. We are our own friend if we do so, and if we don’t, we become our own enemy. In other words, our success and failure is entirely in our hands. No other person can help or hurt us.
The Bhagavad Gita:
We were all created in His image,
and yet we were each created different and unique.
No two people are alike.
No hearts beat to the same rhythm.
If God had wanted everyone to be the same,
He would have made it so.
Therefore, disrespecting differences and imposing your thoughts on others,
is an amount to disrespecting God’s holy scheme.
Shams Tabriz spiritual instructor of Rumi ❤️❤️
How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves.
If God brings to mind
mostly fear and blame,
it means there is too much
fear and blame welled inside us.
If we see God as full of love
and compassion, so are we.
– Shams Tabriz , spiritual instructor of Rumi ❤️❤️
We are all Spiritual beings
having a physical experience.
We are rubies
in the midst of granite.
We are imbued with
resplendent majesty but
We insist on
remaining shriveled
and withered in our prison of dust.
Why not become fresh
from the gentleness of the heart-spring?
Why not laugh…
like a rose?
Why not spread
perfume?
❤ Rumi
Only when a person
responds to the
joys and sorrows
of others,
as if they were his own,
he has attained the
highest state of spiritual union.
~~ Bhagavad Gita
does not cost you any thing…
The
only
lasting
beauty
is the
beauty of the heart.
~ Rumi ❤️❤️
