The Whole Quotes

“I was no longer needing to be special, because I was no longer so caught in my puny separateness that had to keep proving I was something. I was part of the universe, like a tree is, or like grass is, or like water is. Like storms, like roses. I was just part of it all.”
― Ram Dass, Changing Lenses

“Immortal existence..

Sometimes Living is not such an easy task..
Being here or there..
The spirit is the same.. Only changes the place where shows..
Here, the make-up is of meat.. There is infinite LIGHT..
In the flesh, or out of it , what does order is what thinks and what creates..
Each thought, a vibration..
Each action, a reaction..
That doesn't change with the death of the body.. Because actually nobody dies..
We are immortal divine existences.. Believing or not..
So many lives.. So many experiences..
So many faces.. So many dreams..
To each life new opportunities.. New learnings..
The soul Request.. Thirsty to experiment, feels, develop, evolve, grow and so it goes..
The spirit Obeys.. Enters and exit the perishable bodies..
Gets right and misses.. rehearses, Conquers and proceeds..
The spirit is a gift of the architect of the universe for the benefit of all..
It's light.. it's love.. it's eternal..
In the Astral or in the Earth.. There is to educate the thought and to clean the energies around yourself..
Gives some work to do that spiritual maintenance, but it is worthwhile.
It is Light that cleans the Light!
So never forget you are imperishable consciousness..
May a light circle involves and illuminate each soul..
Much light and love in each heart that pulses in the heart of the whole..
Namaste,
Dave”

“I have always had the capacity to go within myself and to discover the silence within, the inner meditative quality, the inner source of love and truth – the inner language of silence.
Now I also notice that this silence is going deeper, and that I go beyond the ego and disappear into the silence.
First this brought up fear, but now I am enjoying this meditation of disappering into the silence and to be nobody. I have started experimenting with this phenomenon to understand how to consciously go beyond the ego: yesterday when I took a cofee at a restaurant, I consciously turned my attention within and disappeared into the silence, which was like finding an inner source of bliss.
In aloneness, I experiment with being consciously alone as a door to be egoless. In conscious aloneness, the ego can not function. In aloneness, your are not. When I am walking, I consciously experiment with being with Existence without having the mind constantly commenting. I try to just be wordlessly with the people and situations that I meet on my walk.
When I can just be with Existence, it opens the door to be one with the Whole.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“It is astonishing to realize that growing up actually means to become one with Existence. It means to find the whole Existence within myself, it means to discover that Existence is alive in my own heart and being.
The song of a bird echoes my own inner voice, the beauty of a flower reflects my own inner beauty, a dog becomes an expression of my own unconditional love and friendship, the majestic mountains create an exstatic joy, and I discover all the shining stars of the sky within my own heart.
It is to realize that the whole Existence is alive, and that the underlying thread of consciousness is God.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“Vacuum is all potent because all containing. In vacuum alone motion becomes possible. One who could make of himself a vacuum into which others might freely enter would become master of all situations. The whole can always dominate the part.”
― Okakura Kakuzō, The Book of Tea

“The inner being is not only the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness, it is the door to the whole.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“Intuition is basically to develop a trust in yourself. When you trust yourself, you can trust others, you can trust existence.
Start trusting yourself is the fundamental lesson on the spiritual journey.
Love and silence are the two ways to develop intuition, to develop trust in yourself.
Start loving yourself, if you do not love yourself, who is then going to love you?
Trust is only possible if you first trust yourself in yourself. The most fundamental thing has to happen within you first.
In India, where they have developed the inner science of spirituality for thousands of years, they made the basic condition that one should begin to develop trust in oneself.
A man or woman who trust comes to know the beauty of that the more you trust yourself, the more bloom.
The more he or she trusts, the more he or she can trust life, the more he or she can trust the unknown.
The more you trust, the more you can relax in your being. You know that you are cherished and supported by the whole.
When you start to feel this trust and love of the whole, you start to grow roots in your being.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“Intuition is our true inner voice, the ever-present inner source of love, truth and wisdom, and the silent existential voice within ourselves. Through the intuition,
we are in contact with the Whole.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Call of the Heart 

“A man who trusts himself comes to know the beauty of that the more you trust yourself, the more you bloom. The more you are silent, calm and cool. And the more he trusts, the more he will trust life. The more you trust, the more you can relax into your being. You know that you are cherished by the Whole. The Whole is breathing and pulsating in you. When you start feeling this love and trust of the Whole, you start to grow roots in your being.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Call of the Heart 

“Man builds his life on sand. That is why everything he tries to do fail. His life does not have a foundation in the eternal. His life is built on the momentary. And when one house built on sand collapses; he starts to build another house. 
We never seem to learn anything. When one desire is frustrated, we immediately jump to another desire.  To desire means to go against the whole. Not to desire means to relax with the whole. it means to have no desire of one's own and to go with the whole. It means that whatsoever the whole wills is my will. I am not trying to achieve any individual goal.  The moment you try to achieve an individual goal, you are in trouble, because we are not separate from the whole. We have to learn to be be part of life, existence.  It is because of our individual goals that every day becomes a frustration.
The seeker of truth has to build his house on a rock, which is only found in meditation. Meditation isa state of no-thought, no desire and no dreams. Then each moment will be a joy, because you are no more.
Meditation means to know that we are no tseparate from life.  We are part of an infinite continent, which we can call God, truth, the ultimate, the absolute or the whole.  ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Man's basic search is for love. He wants to love and he wants to be loved. He wants to be loved unconditionally, and he can be fulfilled only when that happens.
But it does not happen, because he never loves unconditionally. All lovers expect unconditional love from the other person, but nobody is ready to give it. There is
something missing in both you and the other person. One has to begin with oneself. One has to work upon oneself to be able to love unconditionally. One has to love unconditionally not only people, but trees, birds, animals, stone and the wind. You have to spread your love to the whole.
The day you can love the whole, without expecting anything in return, you have known the fundamental secret of life. You have known prayer, the ultimate love. Then the whole will pour its love on you. And that is what we have been searching for many lives.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Meditation means the meeting of the individual with the universal, the meeting of the part with the whole. That is what we are seeking and searching for. Meditation is a bridge between the part and the whole. It is a bridge between you and God.
There is one thing to be fulfilled: you have to slowly disappear. In the same proportion as you disappear, God starts appearing. At the ultimate meeting point, you are not found at all, only God is found.
Meditation is a subtle death and resurrection. It is the death of the small ego, and a rebirth of the ultimate.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“We have been taught that life is a fight and a struggle. We have been taught that life is an enemy. We have been taught that we have to conquer life, we have to conquer existence, but the part cannot conquer the whole.
The part can only dissolve into the whole. One cannot win against the whole, one can only win with the whole. If the part is in conflict with the whole, the part will always fail.
Friendship means to be a friend to existence. Friendship means to not be in conflict with existence. Friendship means to be in a love affair with existence.
Friendship means to be in a deep love affair with the trees, the birds, the animals, the people, the rocks, the rivers and the mountains. Friendship is the highest state of love.
Let friendship become your path to friendship with all unconditionally.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“What is religion? Religion is to be in tune with the whole. Religion is to be in love with the whole. Religion is to be together with the whole.
Religion means to listen to our own authentic being. Religion means to listen to the silent voice within ourselves, which will always lead us right.
Religion means to realize that God is already available to you, both from the inside and from the outside. Religion means to realize that we are already one with God. Religion means the understanding and awareness that makes your doors open and allow God to
enter in.
The purpose of reöigion is to dissolve in silence. When you lose yourself for the first time you are yourself. When the ego disappears, we become awareness, joy and spontaneity. We become a vehicle, an instrument for the whole.
The three dimensions of existence, the three faces of God, are life, love and light. The first dimension is just the beginning of a great journey, a great pilgrimage. Those who think that life is the end miss the whole point of life. The majority of people Take life as the end. What happens then is that people become greedy for life. Their life becomes full of greed, possessiveness and violence.
Life should not be taken for granted. The people that take life for granted are the worldly people and these are the people who have made the world ugly and violent. These are the mundane and mediocre people. They become politicians, hoarders and exploiters. Their whole existence seems to be directed towards one thing: survival. Life lived without love and light is only one-dimensional. Love means introducing a new dimension into your life, which is the dimension of the heart. Love means to introduce joy and delight in your being. Now you don't live only on the one-dimensional horizontal plane. Now you live in two dimensions: life and love. Your life becomes rich.
Only by going through the fire of love, one becomes a heart. It is the fire of love that creates the soul. Not having a heart is what makes life meaningless, but millions of people live without a heart. The heart is the spiritual centre of our being. It is only the heart that
can bring joy to our life.
Never be afraid of love because it is love that will bring you closer to your heart. And it is the heart that can open the doors to God. God can enter only through the heart. God is hidden in our own heart. God is within ourselves, but we seek him outside of ourselves. We seek him in the churches, the temples and the mosques, and we go on missing him. God is not in the scriptures either. God emerges out of your heart. Love people, love trees and love animals. Never miss an opportunity to love. The more you love, the closer you come to God.
Love is the bridge to God. How do love and meditation relate to each other? How do relationships and aloneness relate to each other? How do God meet you in different forms in the outside world, and how do God meet in you in the inside world as your own self? In the outside world, in love and relationships, God is meeting you in many different forms. In the inside world, in meditation and aloneness, God is meeting you as your own self.
Balance is needed. Love and meditation and relationships and aloneness are a balance between the inner and outer world. Love and meditation, the inner and the outer world. Love and meditation and the inner and outer the world is needed to create a balance. Together these two poles create a wholeness; together they will heal you. Make these two poles part of meditation, so that love and relationships are good to create wholeness.
And in the outside world, God is meeting you in many different forms. And when you feel the need again to be alone, God is meeting
you as your own self. God is everywhere, so there is no need to choose.
There is also a third dimension: light. Light means introducing meditation in your life. It means”

“Observation is the moment when the Whole divides — and the beginning of everything that follows.”
