Show a man too many camels' bones,or show them to him too often,and he will not be able to recognize a camel when he comes across a live one.
~ Idries Shah
Purpose drives the process by which we become what we are capable of being.
~ Lolly Daskal
A true leader leads for the sake of love and his knowledge of the path, a bad leader redirects his followers to the path of destruction.
~ Michael Bassey Johnson
It is axiomatic that the attempt to become a Sufi through a desire for personal power as normally understood will not succeed.
Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute. They don't believe simply because it sounds good, or deep, beautiful, happy, fun, cool, simple, or intelligent to them; but because it's true.
~ Criss Jami
my mind struggled top condense all that had led to me being here. My vocal cords fought to express the memories that leaked out, I felt the weight of it all pressing down on me.
~ Jake Wood
Drugs consumes mind, body and soul but only the weak gets devouerd
~ Fabian Gustafsson
The mind-stuff of the world is, of course, something more general than our individual conscious minds.... It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character. But no one can deny that mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience, and all else is remote inference.
~ Arthur Stanley Eddington
There is no transcending our minds, only using them optimally.
~ Vironika Tugaleva
The Way of the Sufis cannot be understood by means of the intellect or by ordinary book learning.
We can burst the bonds which chain us,Which cold human hands have wrought,And where none shall dare restrain usWe can meet again, in thought.
~ Charlotte Brontë
It would be indeed unusual if it turned out that the set of orders that our mind is able to construct and accept, having as it does a deep sense of “understanding the essence of things,” matches precisely the set of all possible orders to be detected in the Universe as a whole. We should admit that this is not impossible, yet it does seem highly improbable. This way of thinking, so modest in its assessment of our abilities, is probably the only way recommended, given our lack of knowledge, because we are not aware of our limitations.
~ Stanisław Lem
The only thing that science cannot discover is that we all have an unconscious Heart just like an unconscious mind. There comes a moment in our life when our mind and heart says one thing but still we do the other one because in our heart of hearts we know what we want. It is just that.. that we are still unaware of it and the unconscious heart knows it all.
~ Himanshu Chhabra
Frustration of mind can be revel through writing something even if it will be never read.
~ Kartik Mehta
Conscious minds can, at the most, comprehend that the whole idea of a 'God' is his superiority, his omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience; and therefore, at the least, desire him, someone far greater than themselves.
You can never know what it is that you have forgotten.
~ Upasana Saraf
Books may be irrelevant until it's relevance, importance and purpose is discovered through reading
~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.
~ Bryant H. Mcgill
Thoughtful minds grow, from the sharpened awareness of those who have lived life; through love, curiosity and tragedy.
~ Aisha Mirza
Thoughtful minds grow, in the sharpened awareness of those who have lived life; through love, curiosity and tragedy.
My mind didn't clear. It had been clear before. Instead it muddled, suddenly ablaze with rioting factions of insecurities and dreams, a cacophonous battleground of conflicting moral codes and dogma. I was, therefore, back to normal.
~ David Wong
God is up to something, but you will never know unless you figure out the difference between who is the messenger carrying your future and who is the person holding you back.
~ Shannon L. Alder
I've often heard people say, “Your country is beautiful, a virtual paradise.” When will the people of Indonesia be as beautiful as their land, with a civilization and culture that contributes to the greater beauty of humankind and no longer smothers and strangles the mind?
~ Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Keep the body - or keep the mind, and it will keep the body! - in a constructive manner. That is, think the pleasant things, even when the outlook may be the darkest. Do not allow the little things that are hindrances make for irritating, or to hurt the feelings. For naturally the body is sensitive to feelings of others, through the overflow of those activities in the sympathetic system. But know that God is! Know that He protects those who put their trust in Him; that what is necessary will be supplied thee if ye will keep joyous, keep happy, keep in that way of constructive forces throughout!
~ Edgar Cayce
The self-judging person will always judge others. The rubric we develop for ourselves, the measuring stick we put against our own mind and body, generalizes to every other human being.
Better to be safe than to be sorry' is a remark of value only when these are the actual alternatives.
It's an absurd request. Our minds, unedited by guilt or shame, are selfish and unkind, and the majority of our thoughts, at any given time, are not for public consumption, because they would either be hurtful or else just make us look like the selfish and unkind bastards we are.
~ Jonathan Tropper
She wanted to hurt him. Hurt him bad. But she knew that his heart would forgive. So she hurt his mind. The mind that doesn't forgive. It remembers, for a very long time. And that's what she wanted. For him to remember always. What it means to get hurt, experience pain inside the brain, all the time. This would ensure that he never ever forgets her. The heart was weak, it always had room for forgiveness. But the mind did not.
~ Anushka Bhartiya
To remain vital, culture must be renewed in the minds of the members of every generation. Outsource memory, and culture withers.
~ Nicholas Carr
Love is more abundant than we could possibly imagine. Just like there is more air than we could possibly breathe in, there is more love than we could possibly perceive.
Upon the whole, Chymistry is as yet but an opening science, closely connected with the useful and ornamental arts, and worthy the attention of the liberal mind. And it must always become more and more so: for though it is only of late, that it has been looked upon in that light, the great progress already made in Chymical knowledge, gives us a pleasant prospect of rich additions to it. The Science is now studied on solid and rational grounds. While our knowledge is imperfect, it is apt to run into error: but Experiment is the thread that will lead us out of the labyrinth.
~ Joseph Black
When a feeling was there, they felt as if it would never go; when it was gone they felt as if it had never been; when it returned, they felt as if it had never gone.
~ George Macdonald
Dreams come true for sure...thats it, no other facts or philosophy...they may take a life time of yrs or somebody else but they are there in your heart or in your mind to change into reality.
~ Saniya
Intuition feels the imperceptible things that unknown to mind.
~ Toba Beta
If you seek small things to do, and do them well, great things will seek you, and demand to be performed.
Be natural at heart and new in mind.
~ Amit Kalantri
Give thinking the opportunity to be your everyday meal, you get nourished by the best success nutrients. You will never be deficient!
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Never become proud within yourself when you are seen as the one to cause that great effect. Never become timid if you know you can while others dare to prove otherwise! Mind your business and make the strike.
The next stage of evolution is the evolution of perception, the evolution of the mind.
Philosophers, Poets and Fools have similar Consciousness
