"the real secret of religion - lies hidden in a cave" -- Interpreted by Sri Yogananda ~

"Why seek a doctrine? - as soon as you have a doctrine, you fall into dualistic thought" - Huang Po ~

Ey there Aquarius87! - Welcome to da DivineEarth gang!! - Sendin' much Peace, Love n' Light ur way! :)

Awesome quote u share w/ us! -- A very thought-provokin' topic which has puzzled n' intrigued mankind throughout da ages - and to some.....a quite touchy subject -- for itrefers to something that is da root to many of da world's diverse philosophies n' religions ~ "Truth" ~

As the wise Mahatma Gandhi once said, "God has no religion" ---- While da world's faiths speak of our existence through scripts n' established beliefs -- each yearnin' to discover ultimate truth - the ego-centered dualistic nature behind it creates tensions and problems (da age old "Who's right and Who's Wrong" argument) -- all of a sudden, violence & wars erupt ~ (in deep pensiveness...)

To experience the ultimate Reality of our universe ~ "The Cosmic Singularity of our very existence" ~ lies in the temple of silence within....... - of total inner peace n' serenity ~

Through da silent inward introspectiveness of prayer n' meditation -- one allows da senses to become numb to da external stimuli dat's around us all da time ~ da noise of confusion n' delusion created from da world we live in shaped by society ~ (AY! AY! AY!) -- by simply just letting go.......the path to enlightenment begins --- our minds become still, are hearts become quiet ~ allowing our own consciousness to expand in transcendence to horizons beyond -- to realms of existence our finite minds cannot grasp or comprehend in a normal sense ~ As our hearts become quiet, time stands still -- one can hear the "voice in da wilderness of silence" (an interpretation of St. John da Bapt. quote) --- our soul in unity w/ da cosmic vibrations -- "All Around and Within" -- the Eternal "Voice of OM" ~ the primordial sound of the Cosmos ~

(sometimes, during my moments of solitude, in deep meditation i would stand or sit in da middle of a beautiful starlit night for lengths at a time --- and gaze up at da stars....da moon.....listening to the silent wind in da distance ~ tears of thanksgiving & joy would flow -- realizin' da sheer beauty n' complex simplicity of da universe & nature -- *ahhhhhh.....")

At once we become aware of our true nature - our own True Self - pure "agape", love & compassion can be felt from deep within -- in all beings, animals, plants, trees....everything...... "Peace, Love & Joy" ~ life turns into a beautiful sacred journey instead of a burden......wanting to know more about our surroundings and ourselves -- bringing an understanding of love & oneness into this world -- living with a joy, with a love in our hearts -- each of us holding a unique gift to share in da Oneness that is "humanity" ~ (each being a precious snowflake in da blanket of snow......)

Quoting Mahatma Gandhi once more, "Yes I am (Hindu) I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew" ---

May we all embrace one another -- of all ethnicities, faiths, creeds...etc.....spreading love and light across our beautiful blue planet Earth ~ our home ~

"Hari Om Tat Sat" - peace unto all -

~ Peace, Love, Joy ~
