Spirituality

There seem to two kinds of searchers: those who seek to make their ego something other than it is, i.e. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish unfish), and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play-acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to disidentify themselves with the ego, by realizing its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being. - Fingers Pointing Toward the Moon by Wei Wu Wei

There comes a day when one wakes up and asks these fundamental questions: "What is it all about? What are we humans trying to do? What is the mystery of life in the vast universe and eternity? Why are we here? Why am I on this Earth? What is expected of me?" On that day one becomes a spiritual person - Robert Muller

The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men - Martin Luther King

The life of the spirit is not a matter of subscribing to a set of beliefs, and only people bent on converting the world trouble themselves with creeds - John Gray, http://www.markvernon.com/friendshiponline/dotclear/index.php?post/2009…

The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known - Indira Gandhi

Spirituality means waking up. Most people, even though they don't know it, are asleep. They're born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence - Anthony de Mello, director of the Dadhana Institute of Pastoral Counselling in Poona, India (died 1987)

I've become like a living exponent, like a man who sits in a certain position and goes through a mantra which can be enjoyed by other people of like mind. It's a kind of spiritual thing that happens - Roy Harper http://www.guitarist.co.uk/interviews/inter_page.asp?ID=324&PageNo=4
