The Bible
“Be patient and you will finally win, for a soft
tongue can break hard bones.``
(Proverbs 28:13)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't
lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall
direct your way.”
(Proverbs 3:5, 6)
Be still and know that I am God.
(Psalm 46:10)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was a vast waste,
darkness covered the deep,
and the spirit of God
hovered over the surface of the water.
God said: "Let there be light,"
and there was light;
and God saw the light was good,
and he separated the light from darkness.
He called the light day,
and the darkness night.
So evening came, and morning came;
it was the first day.
(Genesis 1;1-5)
The Bhagavad Gita
Quickly I come
To those who offer me
Every action,
Worship me only,
Their dearest delight,
With devotion undaunted.
Because they love me
These are my bondsmen
And I shall save them
From mortal sorrow
And all the waves
Of life`s deathly ocean.
Be absorbed in me,
Lodge your mind in me:
Thus you shall dwell in me.
Do not doubt it
Here and hereafter.
(Chapter 12, The Yoga of Devotion ).
The illumined soul
Whose heart is Brahman`s heart
Thinks always `I am doing nothing.`
No matter what he sees,
Hears, touches, smells, eats;
No matter whether he is moving,
Sleeping, breathing, speaking,
Excreting, or grasping something with his hand,
Or opening his eyes,
Or closing his eyes:
This he knows always:
I am not seeing, I am not hearing:
It is the senses that see and hear
And touch the things of the senses.
He puts aside desire,
Offering the act to Brahman.
The lotus leaf rests unwetted on water:
He rests on action, untouched by action.
Chapter 5: The Yoga of Renunciation
The Vedas
"Asato Ma Sad Gamaya/Tamaso Ma Joytir Gamaya/Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya/Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi."
This means:
"O Lord Lead Us From The Unreal To The Real,
Lead Us From Untruth To Truth,
Lead Us From Darkness To Light
Lead Us From Death To Immortality
AUM (the universal sound of God)
Let There Be Peace Peace Peace."
(Rig Veda)
Apocrypha
(Proverbs 3:5, 6)
Be still and know that I am God.
(Psalm 46:10)
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in
faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive
any thing of the Lord.
James 1:5-7
James 1:5-7
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
Romans 12:1-2
Teach me
thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Psalms 27:11
All things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are called according to his purpose.
(Romans 8:28) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was a vast waste,
darkness covered the deep,
and the spirit of God
hovered over the surface of the water.

and there was light;
and God saw the light was good,
and he separated the light from darkness.
He called the light day,

Apocrypha
Jesus
said, "If those who lead you say, 'See, the Kingdom is
in
the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they
say
to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.
Rather,
the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
When
you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and
you
will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living
Father.
But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty
and
it is you who are that poverty."
Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he
finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes
troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."
