I look upon all creatures equally

I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear. But those who worship me with love live in me, and I come to life in them.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

We created you from a single pair of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you might know each other not that you might despise each other. Verily the most honoured among you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous.

Nobody is born or dies at any time

Nobody is born or dies at any time: It is the mind that conceives its birth and death and its migration to other bodies and other worlds.

Yoga Vasishta

*

Know that the body is like a garment. Go, seek the wearer of the garment...

You are such that without the material body you have a spiritual body:

Do not, then, dread the going forth of the soul from the body.

Jalaluddin Rumi

*

As fire assumes the forms of burning objects, so hath the all-pervading Lord assumed the forms of beings and things.

Srimad Bhagavatam

*

The Self existed before the birth of this body and will remain after the death of this body. So it is with the series of bodies taken up in succession.

The Self is immortal. The phenomena are changeful and appear mortal. The fear of death is of the body.

Ramana Maharshi

*

There is no coming and going.

For what is coming but going?

Shabistari

We Are Made Kind By Being Kind

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. -Dalai Lama

Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.-Joseph Joubert

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.- Dalai Lama

No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves. – Amelia Earhart

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.- Lao Tzu

The point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on.– Julia Alvarez
