The Book of Mirdad Quotes
“Often you shall think your road impassable, sombre and
companionless. Have will and plod along; and round each curve you
shall find a new companion.”
“Ask not of things to shed their veils. Unveil yourselves, and things
will be unveiled.”
“Logic is immaturity weaving its nets of gossamer wherewith it aims to
catch the behemoth of knowledge. Logic is a crutch for the cripple,
but a burden for the swift of foot and a greater burden still for the
wise.”
“How much more infinite a sea is man? Be not so childish as to measure
him from head to foot and think you have found his borders.”
“So think as if your every thought were to be etched in fire upon the
sky for all and everything to see. For so, in truth, it is.”
“Love is the law of God. You live that you may learn to love. You love
that you may learn to live. No other lesson is required of Man.You are
the tree of Life. Beware of fractionating yourselves. Set not a fruit
against a fruit, a leaf against a leaf, a bough against a bough; nor
set the stem against the roots; nor set the tree against the mother-
soil. That is precisely what you do when you love one part more than
the rest, or to the exclusion of the rest. No love is possible except
by the love of self. No self is real save the All-embracing Self.
Therefore is God all Love, because he loves himself. So long as you
are pained by Love, you have not found your real self, nor have you
found the golden key of Love. Because you love an ephemeral self, your
love is ephemeral.”
“Too vast is Man and too imponderable his nature. Too varied are his
talents, and too inexhaustible his strength. Beware of those who
attempt to set him boundaries. Live as if your God Himself had need of
you His life to live. And so, in truth, He does.”
“No love is Love that subjugates the Lover.
No love is Love that feeds on flesh and blood.
No love is Love that draws a woman to a man only to breed
more women and men and thus perpetuate their bondage to the flesh.”
“The more elaborate his labyrinths, the further from the Sun his face.”
“Men and women yearners must realize their unity even while in the
flesh; not by communion of the flesh, but by the Will to Freedom from
the flesh and all the impediments it places in their way to perfect
Unity and Holy Understanding”

Dear Joe,
Please note in other Hindu forum what ever I quote from western, they
will say these are already exist in Sanathana Dharma scriptures such
as vedas, Upnanishads,
smiritis, srutis, BG etc.,
I feel the following
Please note the absolute is only one for this whole universe, only one
knowledge.
But please note knowledge need not be copied, but same knowledge can
be received from that absolute by any human being lives in any part of
the world.
So if some westerner says / writes it need not be a copy from Hindu
scriptures, but may be of his own discovery from that absolute (god).
Any people speak / write philosophy or religious matters, they don't
do just for name, but due to their inner realization / inner
experience.
Buddha realized, Jesus realized, Mohammad realized, Socrates realized,
so they have expressed their inner experience, which may be compared
to similar knowledge taught in Upanishads, BG or Vedas.
Any person in the world who drinks water how he will describe its
taste, it will be more or less same i.e no taste but it quenches your
thirst, it gives your energy.
Every one in the world feels thirsty and look for water and find
water, similarly everyone feels void in the life, searching for
meaning and find it.
So not to under value any body and say they have just copied. It may
be the work of 2nd hand philosophers but not of Buddha, Jesus or
Mohammad or Gurdjieff or Socrates.
Please comment.....
Good Reading
Suresh
