"Once I asked my Master, "What is
the difference between you and me?"
And he replied, "Hafiz, only this. If a herd of wild buffalo broke
into our
house and knocked over our empty begging bowls not a drop would
spill
from yours. But there is Something Invisible that the Divine has
placed in
mine. If that spilled from my bowl, it could drown this whole
world.""

'Salutations to
that Reality which inheres as the Self in all, from which
all the creations are projected, in which they have their
being and into which they are finally dissolved! Salutations
to that Intelligence which inheres as the Self in all, from
which the knower, knowledge and the known, the seer, sight
and the seen, the doer, cause and deed, are manifested!
Salutations to that Supreme Bliss which inheres as the Self
in all, which constitutes the life of all and from whose
unfathomable depths happiness is sprayed as fine particles
in Heaven or on Earth (where on the sum-total of happiness
is not equal to a particle of that unalloyed, natural
Bliss). The
Siddhas
(invisible and immortal beings of the noblest order)
proclaimed.'
"And what have I elucidated?
Misery have I elucidated; the origin of misery have I
elucidated; the cessation of misery have I elucidated; and
the path leading to the cessation of misery have I
elucidated. Why have I elucidated this? Because this does
profit, has to do with the fundamentals of religion, and
tends to absence of passion, to knowledge, supreme wisdom,
and nirvana". Siddharta Gautama (d. 483
B.C.E.) in the Pali Majjhima Nikaya (first century
C.E.)
"I have indicated
that there is actually one tradition. There are many
historical traditions, but there is really one tradition,
one
great tradition.
It is the tradition of mankind and it's older than the
history that mankind has recorded. There is a prehistorical
background to all the historical traditions, what I call a
kind of walkabout tradition, before there were concentrated
bodies of civilization, of civil society where human beings
became highly organized in large numbers, people were still
being religious, you see. They were being everything that
human beings, generally speaking, are now. They are part of
the Great Tradition also and it is a universal tradition
because it is based on one Reality, not only the Great
Indivisible Unconditional Reality, but the unity of the
whole of conditional existence and the commonality and the
unity of the whole of what is the human
being."
Chogyam
Trungpa "To
understand more precisely the process of confirming
the solidity of I and other, that is, the
development of ego, it is helpful to be familiar
with the five skandhas, a set of Buddhist concepts
which describe ego a five-step
process." "The
reason such critical study is useful is that you
already have all kinds of inherited, thought-up,
and propagandized ideas that correspond to ideas
that can be found in the traditions. Thus, you can
see how those ideas traditionally get elaborated as
a way of life, and you can see their
limitations." Adi Da Samraj Norman D.

Nityananda did not write books, go on lecture
tours, or create a spiritual organization to
propagate his teaching. He did, however, make
himself available to thousands of people who
revered him as Spiritual Master. The Cakras
