| " ... I swear by the sunset redness, And the night and that which it drives on, And the moon when it grows full, That you shall most certainly enter one state after another." -- SHAKIR |

| "Since Brahman is the eternal, ultimate, one reality, knowing the identity of the atman with the Brahman leads to moksha, ultimate liberation from the samsara cycle. This, therefore, is held forth by many Hindus as the highest goal. But alongside that basic idea of ultimate reality Hinduism puts forward another perspective on eternal reality, namely, the cosmic order, the Eternal Dharma. What's it all about? In the context of living life the way we should, the answer turns out to be Dharma -- not the underlying source and essence of reality, not a god to be worshiped, but the eternal order of things to be followed.
The word Dharma comes from a Sanskrit root meaning "sustain, support," and in Hinduism it comes to mean the essential foundation of things in general. Originally it was closely related to the Vedic notion of Rta, the universal harmony in which all things in the cosmos and in human society have their proper place and function, Dharma is something like the law of nature, eternal and unchanging. Following our dharma means living in accordance with reality. And it has as its correlate the law of karma, the law that there is an unfailing result tht comes from every action. The whole world is supported and continues to exist on the foundation of Dharma and karma ... " |

"But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all." -- KJV |

| "Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works." -- Basic English Bible |

| "For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." -- KJV |

| " 'I have seen the truth,' Dostoevske said. 'It is not as though I had invented it with my mind. I have seen it, and the living image of it has filled my soul forever ... In one day, one hour, everything could be arranged at once! The chief thing is to love.' He said he realized that this truth had been told and retold a billion times, yet it had never transformed human life." |

| "And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also." |

| "An inexperienced person who seeks instruction in a childlike and unassuming way is on the right path, for the man devoid of arrogance who subordinated himself to his teacher will certainly be helped." -- Chapter 4 |
Gary Winfree |
| "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." KJV |

| "The human problem is selfishness, which makes one love the world rather than God, causing one to be seperated from God. The answer? In Guru Nanak's words,"
What keepeth me in my detachment
Is meditating on the Ungraspable One
Through the One Divine Word
God is made real to us
And the saints destroy the flames
of attachment to the little self.
"Nanak repeatedly rejected the need for various religious practices like sacrifices, pilgrimage, fasting, and the rest. Rather the path is essentially an inner discipline aimed at opening the heart to God's presence. The heart needs to be purified so it can resonate to God's name." |
Gary Winfree |
| "We must discover a new respect for what transcends us: for the universe, for the earth, for nature, for life, and for reality. Our respect for other people, for other nations, and for other cultures, can only grow from a humble respect for the cosmic order and from an awareness that we are a part of it, that we share in it and that nothing of what we do is lost, but rather becomes part of the eternal memory of Being, where it is judged." Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic, Commencement address, Harvard University, June 8, 1995 |

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." - KJV |
Gary Winfree |
| "What is dark clings to what is light and so enhances the brightness of the latter. A luminous thing giving out light must have within itself something that perseveres; otherwise it will in time burn itself out. Everything that gives light is dependent on something to which it clings, in order that it may continue to shine.
"Thus the sun and moon cling to heaven, and grain, grass, and trees cling to the earth. So too the twofold clarity of the dedicated man clings to what is right and thereby can shape the world. Human life on earth is conditioned and unfree, and when man recognizes this limitation and makes himself dependent upon the harmonious and beneficent forces of the cosmos, he achieves success. The cow is the symbol of extreme docility. By cultivating in himself an attitude of compliance and voluntary dependence, man acquires clarity without sharpness and finds his place in the world." -- Chapter 30 |
Gary Winfree |
| "And I strive to discover how to signal my companions ... to say in time a simple word, a password, like conspirators: Let us unite, let us hold each other tightly, let us merge our hearts, let us create for Earth a brain and a heart, let us give a human meaning to the superhuman struggle. -- Nikos Kazantzakis" |

| "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" - KJV |
Gary Winfree |
| For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. - KJV |

| "Lo, soul! seest thou not God's purpose from the first?..The Earth to be spann'd, connected by network,..The people to become brothers and sisters,..The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage,..The oceans to be cross'd, the distant brought near,..The lands to be welded together." Walt Whitman - Passage to India |

| "We are members of one great body, planted by nature in a mutual love, and fitted for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole." Seneca |

| "Everywhere on Earth, at this moment,..there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in a new world: the two essential components of the ultra human. These two components are everywhere in the air...Sooner or later there will be a chain reaction." Pierre Teilhard deChardin - The Phenomenon of Man |
JoAnn Kite |
| "Households, cities, countries and nations have enjoyed great happiness, when a single individual has taken heed of the Good and Beautiful...Such men not only liberate themselves; they fill those they meet with a free mind." Philo |
