B y faith you shall be free and go beyond the world of death.


quote 4326  | 
Sutta Nipata 1146 




T hrough constant effort over many lifetimes, a person becomes purified of
all selfish desires and attains the supreme goal of life.


quote 4325  | 
Bhagavad Gita 6.45 




O man! Verily you are ever toiling on towards your Lord--painfully
toiling--but you shall meet Him.... You shall surely travel from stage to
stage.


quote 4324  | 
Qur'an 84.6, 19 




R abbi Phinehas the Priest said in reference to Proverbs 11.21, "If you
have fulfilled a command, do not seek its reward from God straightaway,
lest you not be acquitted of sin, but be regarded as wicked because you
have not sought to cause your children to inherit anything. For if
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had sought the reward of the good deeds which
they performed, how could the seed of these righteous men [e.g., Israel]
have been delivered?"


quote 4323  |   The Misdrashs
Exodus Rabbah 44.3 




H appy are the righteous! Not only do they acquire merit, but they bestow
merit upon their children and children's children to the end of all
generations, for Aaron had several sons who deserved to be burned like
Nadab and Abihu, but the merit of their father helped them. Woe unto the
wicked! Not alone that they render themselves guilty, but they bestow
guilt upon their children and children's children unto the end of all
generations. Many sons did Canaan have, who were worthy to be ordained
like Tabi, the slave of Rabbi Gamaliel, but the guilt of their ancestor
caused them [to lose their chance].


quote 4322  |   The Talmud
Yoma 87a 




L oose us from the yoke of the sins of our fathers
and also of those which we ourselves have committed.


quote 4321  | 
Rig Veda 7.86.5 




F or I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those
who hate me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of
those who love me and keep my commandments.


quote 4320  |   The Torah
Exodus 20.5-6 




I f the punishment does not fall on the offender himself, it falls on his
sons; if not on the sons, on his grandsons.


quote 4319  | 
Laws of Manu 4.173 




B y the delusions of imagination, touch and sight,
And by eating, drinking, and impregnation there is a birth and development
of the self.
According to his deeds (karma)) the embodied one successively
Assumes forms in various conditions.
Coarse and fine, many in number,
The embodied one chooses forms according to his own qualities.
Each subsequent cause of his union with them is seen to be
Because of the quality of his acts and of himself.


quote 4318  | 
Svetasvatara Upanishad 5.11-12 




L ike the waves in great rivers, there is no turning back of that which has
previously been done.... [The soul is] like a lame man--bound with the
fetters made of the fruit of good and evil.


quote 4317  | 
Maitri Upanishad 4.2 




T hose who see all creatures within themselves
And themselves in all creatures know no fear.
Those who see all creatures in themselves
And themselves in all creatures know no grief.
How can the multiplicity of life
Delude the one who sees its unity?


quote 4316  | 
Isha Upanishad 6-7 




V eiled by ignorance,
The minds of man and Buddha
Appear to be different;
Yet in the realm of Mind Essence
They are both of one taste.
Sometimes they will meet each other
In the great Dharmadhatu.


quote 4315  | 




A nd we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being
changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this
comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.


quote 4314  | 
2 Corinthians 3.18 




B eloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall
be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him.


quote 4313  | 
1 John 3.2 




N ow are for us no entanglements or snares,
Nor a bit of egoism left.
Now is all distance annulled, nor are curtains drawn between us.
Thou art mine, I Thine.


quote 4312  |   The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Bilaval, M.5, p. 821 




T hat which is the finest essence--this whole world has that as its Self.
That is Reality. That is the Self. That art thou.


quote 4311  | 
Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7 




A s rivers flow into the sea and in so doing lose name and form, so even
the wise man, freed from name and form, attains the Supreme Being, the
Self-luminous, the Infinite. He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman.


quote 4310  | 
Mundaka Upanishad 3.2.8-9 




M editate upon him and transcend physical consciousness. Thus will you
reach union with the Lord of the universe. Thus will you become
identified with him who is One without a second. In him all your desires
will find fulfillment.

The truth is that you are always united with the Lord. But you must know
this.


quote 4309  | 
Svetasvatara Upanishad 1.11-12 




B rahman is the end of the journey. Brahman is the supreme goal.


quote 4308  | 
Katha Upanishad 1.3.11 




B lessed One, what is meant by this term Nirvana?" Replied the Buddha,
"When the self-nature and the habit-energy of all the
sense-discriminations, includ- ing ego (alaya), intellect (manas), and the
faculty of judgment (manovijnana), from which issue the habit-energy of
wrong speculations--when all these go through a revulsion, I and all the
Buddhas declare that there is Nirvana. The way and the self-nature of
this Nirvana is emptiness, which is the state of reality."


quote 4307  |   The Lankavatara Sutra
Lankavatara Sutra 38 




F or whoever would save his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.


quote 4306  | 
Matthew 16.25 




S entient beings wish to return to their origin where their nature will be in perfect unity.


quote 4305  |   The Surangama Sutra




W hoever is proud of his royal authority
falls into hell, becomes a dog.
Whoever fancies himself for his beauty
takes birth as a filthy worm.
Whoever proclaims his meritorious deeds
whirls in transmigration, fallen into numerous births.
Whoever is proud of wealth and estates
is thoughtless, blind, senseless.
But whoever in whose heart He, in His grace, lodges humility
finds, says Nanak, liberation in this life,
bliss in the hereafter.

Whoever is proud of his wealth,
Know not even a blade of grass shall accompany him.
Whoever pins his confidence on large hoardes and servants
is destroyed in an instant.
Whoever reckons himself powerful over all
is reduced in an instant to ashes.
Whoever in his pride reckons none as his equal
In the end treated with ignominy by the Master of Law.
Whoever by the Master's grace has his pride anulled,
Says Nanak, finds acceptance at the Divine Portal.


quote 4304  |   The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Gauri Sukhmani 12, M.5, p. 278 




H im who humbles himself, God exalts; him who exalts himself, God humbles;
from him who searches for greatness, greatness flies; him who flies from
greatness, greatness searches out: with him who is importunate with
circumstances, circumstance is importunate; by him who gives way to
circumstance, circumstance stands.


quote 4303  |   The Talmud
Erubin 13b 




W hoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will
be exalted.


quote 4302  | 
Matthew 23.12
