Text Quotes
Enlightenment is the natural state of consciousness, the innocent state of consciousness, that state which is uncontaminated by the movement of thought, uncontaminated by control or manipulation of mind (Enlightenment Quotes)
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind (Enlightenment Quotes)
A fully blossomed human potential is enlightenment. It is becoming a child again, and coming back to your original nature (Enlightenment Quotes)
We do not slight the idea of enlightenment, but the most important thing is this moment, not some day in the future. We have to make our effort in this moment. This is the most important thing for our practice (Enlightenment Quotes)
Only the rich can achieve enlightenment because the poor are too busy looking for fridge freezers (Enlightenment Quotes)
Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can (Enlightenment Quotes)
What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment (Enlightenment Quotes)
We should reflect on the idea that since the beginning of time sentient beings have been mentally unstable because they have been slaves of delusion, they lack the eye of wisdom to see the path leading to nirvana and enlightenment, and they lack the necessary guidance of a spiritual teacher. Moment by moment they are indulging in negative actions, which will eventually bring about their downfall (Enlightenment Quotes)
Don’t move. Just die over and over. Don’t anticipate. Nothing can save you now because you have only this moment. Not even enlightenment will help you now because there are no other moments. With no future, be true to yourself and express yourself fully. Don’t move (Enlightenment Quotes)
Compassion has been advocated by all the great faiths because it has been found to be the safest and surest means of attaining enlightenment. It dethrones the ego from the center of our lives and puts others there, breaking down the carapace of the selfishness that holds us back from an experience of the sacred. And it gives us ecstasy, broadening our perspectives and giving us a larger, enhanced vision (Enlightenment Quotes)
Your enlightenment is perfect only when silence has come to be a celebration. Hence my insistence that after you meditate you must celebrate. After you have been silent you must enjoy it, you must have a thanksgiving. A deep gratitude must be shown towards the whole just for the opportunity that you are, that you can meditate, that you can be silent, that you can laugh (Enlightenment Quotes)
Enlightenment is always through surrender, but surrender is achieved through intelligence. Only idiots cannot surrender. To surrender you need great intelligence. To see the point of surrender is the climax of insight; to see the point that you are not separate from existence is the highest that intelligence can give to you (Enlightenment Quotes)
Enlightenment is like witnessing the brilliant sun for the first time in the morning. It is like seeing the beautiful flowers that grow in the wood, the frolicking deer, a bird flying proudly, or fish swimming. Life is not all that grim. In the morning you brush your teeth, you can see how shiny they are. Reality has its own gallantry, spark, and arrogance. You can study life while you are alive. You can study how you can achieve the brilliance of life (Enlightenment Quotes)
So the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind. Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger. One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head, as you would smile at the antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not depend on it (Enlightenment Quotes)
The whole purpose of life is to gain enlightenment. Nothing else is significant compared to that completely natural, exalted state of consciousness. So always strive for that. Set your life around that goal. Don’t get caught up in small things, and then it will be yours (Enlightenment Quotes)
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects (Enlightenment Quotes)
Enlightenment doesn’t mean we were never wounded; it means we’ve found a way to evolve beyond our wounds. Enlightenment isn’t idealistic; it’s practical. What’s idealistic is thinking we can live from our wounds, stay in our weakness, and ever transform the world (Enlightenment Quotes)
If on the one side we do not harbor the illusion that the entire proletariat must be enlightened before it can be called into battle, so on the other we do not doubt that as much enlightenment as possible must be produced with oral and printed agitation (Enlightenment Quotes)
Enlightenment is the inner light of wisdom that is permanently free from all mistaken appearance, and whose function is to bestow mental peace upon each and every living being every day (Enlightenment Quotes)
Elegance is a small price to pay for enlightenment, and I was glad to pay it (Enlightenment Quotes)
But by reading them again and again finally I was able to grasp the essential part. What emotion, enthusiasm, enlightenment and confidence they communicated to me! I wept for joy (Enlightenment Quotes)
The theories of the major philosophers of the 18th century secular enlightenment were biblical and theological in spite of themselves (Enlightenment Quotes)
Modernity, the child of the Enlightenment, failed when it became apparent that the good society cannot be achieved by unaided reason (Enlightenment Quotes)
Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love (Enlightenment Quotes)
Teachers must be celebrated for moving civilization from ignorance to enlightenment, from apathy to responsibility (Enlightenment Quotes)
Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are (Enlightenment Quotes)
The greatest obstacle to enlightenment is getting past your delusion that you are not already enlightened (Enlightenment Quotes)
Freedom of speech and of the press are essential to the enlightenment of a free people and in restraining those who wield power (Enlightenment Quotes)
Flawed as they may be, science and the secular Enlightenment values expressed in Western democracies are our best hope for survival (Enlightenment Quotes)
Man has, since the Enlightenment, dealt with things he should have ignored (Enlightenment Quotes)
