"We train our children in competition, acquisitiveness, and even aggression. Then we expect cooperation, respect, and consideration." [Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri]
"The contraction of the heart comes with the expansion of the ego, and vice versa." [Bayazid Bistami]
"Self-understanding is at least half the battle in self-transformation." [Ragip Baba]
"It is in supporting one another that two hands find strength. A thorny branch can only be cut if the left hand is helping. The right hand raised alone could not cut even a morsel of meat." [Abdellahi Muuse, Somali Poet]
Humility is our connection with our fundamental Being, which has certain qualities:
Acceptance of what is, rather than complaints of 'poor me' or 'why me?'
Openness, rather than preoccupation with 'me'
Gratefulness, rather than resentment for what has happened to 'me'
Generosity, rather than possessiveness
Modesty, rather than the self-importance of 'me'
Forgiveness, rather than blame of others or ourselves
Trust, rather than insecurity and doubt.
[Kabir Helminski in 'The Knowing Heart']
"A man's behavior is the index of the man, and his speech is the index of his understanding." [Ali ibn Abu Talib (RAA)]
"Learn politeness from the impolite." [Egyptian Proverb]
Eye and Mind-openers
Growing old is inevitable, growing UP is optional.
There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
Faith is the ability to not panic.
Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
The most important things in your home are the people.
He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in a dark room with a mosquito.
God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
Learn from the turtle; it only makes progress when it sticks its neck out.
