"There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes"
Jalaluddin Rumi
A spiritual thought for the week to help guide you on your path. The selection is from a both 'Universalist' and 'Mystical' point of view. That is the Faith that there are many paths but only one source and the essence of that source is beyond all language. You will therefore find quotes from: Zen, Sufism, Vedanta, Kabbalah, Hassidic Judaism, Deep Ecologists, Quakers and Gnostics to name but a few.

Sutta Nipata
"Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride. "
- Sutta Nipata
The Sutta Nipata ("The Sutta Collection"), the fifth book of the Khuddaka Nikaya, consists of 71 short suttas divided into five vaggas (chapters). Some scholars believe that this sutra collection describes the oldest of all Buddhist practices.
