Our Body Is The Bodhi-tree, And Our Mind A Mirror Bright. Carefully Quotes

Our body is the Bodhi-tree,
And our mind a mirror bright.
Carefully we wipe them hour by hour,
And let no dust alight.

There is no Bodhi-tree,
Nor stand of a mirror bright.
Since all is void,
Where can the dust alight?

Consciousness is the force that creates the divine form
and then inhabits it.
It is the creator, the actor, and the outcome.
It is the force that weaves the whole process together..

Chal Bulleya chal othe chaliye jithe saare anne
na koi saadi zaat pachhaane, na koi saanu manne..
- Baba Bulleh Shah

I have again and again grown like grass.
I have experienced seven hundred and seventy moulds.
I died from minerality and become vegetable;
…And from vegetative-ness I died and become animal.
I died from animality and became man.

Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die,
Bring forth wings and feathers like angels.
After that soaring higher than angels-
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that. - Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

Neither is God above the highest heaven
nor is God in the Ka’ba - He!
neither was God found in bookish knowledge
nor is God in the mosque’s niche - He!
(even) on pilgrimage to the Ganges,
the source was not found
(despite) going measureless distances - He!
when the Guide was found by Bahu
over were all the torments - He!

Girte rahe sajdo'n mein hum apni hi hasraton ki khatir
ishq -e- khuda mein gire hote to koi hasrat baaki na rehti..

Bekhudi mein hum to tera darr samajh kar jhuk gaye
ab khuda jaane woh kaaba tha ya buutt-khana..
- Amir Khusro
