essence

Breathing is medicine. I forgot how to breathe, but I__ learning all over again.

In its purest form, a union becomes part of our very essence. And when that bond is broken, our essence is forever changed.

How can we __ind ourselves_ again? How can man __now himself_? He is a thing obscure and veiled. If the hare has seven skins, man can cast from him seventy times seven skins, and not be able to say: __ere you truly are; there is skin no more.__lso this digging into oneself, this straight, violent descent into the pit of one__ being, is a troublesome and dangerous business to start. You may easily take such hurt, that no doctor can heal you. And what is the point: since everything bears witness to our essence _ our friendships and enmities, our looks and greetings, our memories and forgetfulnesses, our books and our writing!

Has there ever been a night where you didn__ feel safe? Maybe you felt you were being watched? Or you couldn__ close your eyes for fear of the unknown? If, for only a moment, you let your guard down and hear a sound__nidentified and quiet__aybe it was all in your head.Never let your guard down.

Poetry is the essence and evidence of life.

The essence of me, is YOU.

Never assume you are alone, because you never truly are. Only when your life has surely ended and your loved ones have forgotten you is when you are gone. Gone from this world and the next.Sleep is when you are most vulnerable. It__ a sanctuary and a curse; how you perceive it is up to you.

What you reveal shows the essence of your teaching

The essence of education is not to get a certificate or job but, to be a holistically developed person who can positively impact the society.

When we are able to look beyond appearances and to behold that which we truly are, we recognize that our essence is interwoven with the divine and that we exist as one of its expressions.

All forms are limited. Some of the limitations are time, place, culture, language.

Success as a Christian is to become the essence of the presence of God on earth

The God who is human in his divinity is the precise opposite of an essence which in ill-willed fashion closes itself to all human thought and knowledge... As love, rather, God is thinkable, without a distinction capable of made between essence and existence. Love is essentially existing lovingly.

The man who carries a parcel is anxious not to lose it -- he is parcel-conscious. The man who cherishes the feeling 'I am' is self-conscious. The jnani holds on to nothing and cannot be said to be conscious. And yet he is not unconscious. He is the very heart of awareness. We call him digambara clothed in space, the Naked One, beyond all appearance. There is no name and shape under which he may be said to exist, yet he is the only one that truly is.

In the vast spectrum of space-time__ coeternal continuum, I am but a glint of bundled energy held together by the translucent fiber of creative consciousness. The misty dew of private thoughts that inhabit my streaky underworld briefly forms a splintery part of the glittering arena of the cosmos. In the ether-like dawn of my awakening, my minuscule arch appears intravenously injected amid the dark matter of the nightscape. Reminiscent of the morning__ dew, my comet__ tailed reflection disintegrates and dissipates without a lasting trace in the dawn of a new age. I shall never wholly cease to exist, since my filtrate potentiality _ a trace of my essence _ remains suspended forevermore in celestial wonderment.

Then, when I thought it couldn__ get any better, I see it. And I knew, only then, that I__ truly in Heaven.

Eyes closed on an open soul...the world starts from within its core towards its final frontier: the end surface.
