Text Quotes
Spiritually speaking, everything that one wants, aspires to, and needs is ever-present, accessible here and now - for those with eyes to see.  (Surya Das Quotes) Embracing our environment is a good direction, a very spiritual direction. It’s too Aristotelian to separate man from the animals and man; humans from the environment.  (Surya Das Quotes) Mother Teresa- cream. Exemplars, exemplary models we can learn from and become more like, but we don’t have to imitate them. We can become more authentically ourselves, impeccable and unselfish, and beneficial to many like a wish fulfilling jewel  (Surya Das Quotes) Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life - not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love. Love is the truth. Love is the light  (Surya Das Quotes) Embracing our environment is a good direction, a very spiritual direction. It’s too Aristotelian to separate man from the animals and man; humans from the environment  (Surya Das Quotes) So we’re all living spirit. It’s not about isms and schims or religions. Religions are almost like political institutions, but the heart of it is the spirituality  (Surya Das Quotes) I realize that was becoming a contradiction in terms, especially after my friend Alison Krauss was shot and killed in Kent State in 1970 on campus by the National Guard  (Surya Das Quotes) Spiritual joy is devotion, it’s like a virus you know? It’s a benevolent virus, but it spreads. It’s infectious. Ram Dass was like a mentor in those days  (Surya Das Quotes) Well there were other Maharajis, so Neem Karoli Baba was his technical name, like there are a thousand Lamas called Rinpoche  (Surya Das Quotes) Don’t wait to find solid ground. Dance in emptiness  (Surya Das Quotes) Like many others, I sometimes find that cooking can be naturally grounding  (Surya Das Quotes) Everything passes, nothing remains. Understand this, loosen your grip and fine serenity  (Surya Das Quotes) We each need to make peace with our own memories. We have all done things that make us flinch  (Surya Das Quotes) We’re human beings trying to understand and cultivate what it means to feel divine love. We have to start with small, realistic goals  (Surya Das Quotes) People who spend a great deal of time in their gardens attest to the natural mindfulness that gardening requires. What could be more naturally mindful than weeding? It requires a great deal of sustained attention. Weeds need to be taken up with care: Pull too hard, and the weed breaks in your fingers, leaving the root to grow and spread. Different weeds need different techniques and, sometimes, tools. When we weed our gardens, we have to pay attention to where and how we walk and bend. Move too far in one direction or another, and we’ll squash growing things  (Surya Das Quotes) You have to go through the darkness to truly know the light. This may sound like a cliche, but it’s true nonetheless. Often the greatest doubts occur just before a breakthrough  (Surya Das Quotes) May all beings everywhere with whom we are inseparably connected, be fulfilled, awakened, liberated and free. May there be peace in this world and throughout the entire universe, and may we all together complete the spiritual journey  (Surya Das Quotes) We cannot expect miracles of mindfulness in our own lives without preparation, commitment and continuing to energetically progress along our spiritual way  (Surya Das Quotes) If we accept and internalize the fact of our own mortality, then, by definition, we have to deal with the essential questions of how we live and spend our allotted time. We have to stop procrastinating, pretending that we have forever to do what we want to do and be what we long to be  (Surya Das Quotes) Our lack of compassion stems from our inability to see deeply into the nature of things  (Surya Das Quotes) It almost seems as though this roiling world is conspiring to test our patience at every turn. In fact, it is. With this in mind, we would be wise to look on our imperfect environment as a teacher rather than an antagonist. It constantly shows us that we need to be patient on an ongoing basis, not just every now and then, if we´re going to realize true inner peace, happiness, and fulfillment  (Surya Das Quotes) Enlightenment is not about becoming divine. Instead it’s about becoming more fully human... It is the end of ignorance  (Surya Das Quotes) Other people can’t cause us to be impatient unless we let them do so. In other words, others don’t make us impatient. We make ourselves impatient, through our expectations and demands, fixated attachments and stuckness  (Surya Das Quotes)
