| Look Within You who want knowledge seek the Oneness within. There you will find the clear mirror already waiting. Hadewijch of Antwerp Too late have I loved Thee, Beauty so old and yet so new, too late have I loved Thee! And behold, Thou wert within, and I without, and there I sought Thee; and in my deformity rushed amidst those beauteous forms which Thou hadst made. Thou wert with me, but I was not with Thee. Things held me far from Thee. My life shall wholly live, as wholly full of Thee. St. Augustine Turn to thy heart, and thy heart will find its Saviour, its God, within itself. William Law I gazed into my own heart; there I saw Him; He was nowhere else. Rumi Hakuin's whole life was shining the light onto the place where he stood. Abbot Amakuki Our being here is our eternal being. Many people imagine here to have creaturely being, and divine being to be yonder. It is a popular delusion. Meister Eckhart If thine eyes were opened, then in that very place where thou standest, sittest, or liest, thou sholdst see the glorious Countenance of Face of God and the whole heavenly Gate. Boehme People seek it far away -- what a pity! They are like him who, in the midst of water, cries out in thirst so imploringly. Hakuin Look within; within is the fountain of all good. Such a fountain, where springing waters can never fail, so thou dig deeper and deeper. Marcus Aurelius God dwells in the inmost heart of man. We shall find Him within ourselves, if we will only enter in and seek him there. John Nicholas Grou To mount to God is to enter into oneself. De Adhaerendo Deo Thus all concentrates: let us not rove; let us sit at home with the cause. Let us stun and astonish the intruding rabble of men and books and institutions, by a simple declaration of divine fact. Bid the invaders take the shoes from off their feet, for God is here within. Emerson The true Buddha sits in the interior. Chao-chou T'sung-shen A man has many skins in himself covering the depths of his heart. Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, just like an ox's or a bear's, so thick and hard, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there. Meister Eckhart back to top |
