M y very good friend, you are an Athenian and belong to a city which is the greatest and most famous in the world for its wisdom and strength. Are you not ashamed that you give your attention to acquiring as much money as possible, and similarly with reputation and honor, and give no attention or thought to Truth and understanding, and the perfection of your soul?

Plato quote, Philosophy / Platonism
Apology, 29C-30C; adapted from Hamilton, E., 1969, pp. 15-16

M oreover," [said Socrates] "you must not wonder that those who attain this height are unwilling to descend to human affairs; for their souls are always hastening into the upper world where they desire to dwell..."

Plato quote, Philosophy / Platonism
Republic, Bk. VII.517; adapted from Hamilton, E., 1969

B ut whether true or false, my opinion is that in the world of knowledge, the realm of "the Good" appears last of all and is seen only with an effort. And, when seen, it is also understood to be the universal Cause of all things beautiful and right, Father of 'light and Lord of light in this visible world, and the immediate Source of reason and truth in the intelligible world; and to be the Power on which he who would act rationally either in public or private life must have his eye fixed."

"I agree," said Glaucon, "as far as I can understand you."

Plato quote, Philosophy / Platonism
Republic, Bk. VII.517; adapted from Hamilton, E., 1969

P ride is the greatest hindrance to the progress of the Soul. Moderation is the greatest virtue, and wisdom is to speak the truth and to act in accordance with nature, while continuously attending to one’s own self.

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 131,112

I n the One, above and below are the same, [just as] beginning and end are one in the circumference of a circle. That which is in conflict is also in concert; while things differ from one another, they are all contained in the most beautiful Unity.

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 60,103, 8

T his ordered universe, which is the same for all, was not created by any one of the gods or by man, but always was, is, and shall be, an ever-living Flame that is first kindled and then quenched in turn. [The universe bursts forth and then is reabsorbed, yet its Source is ever-living, like a Sun that never sets] and who can hide from that which never sets? [That eternal Intelligence in man] is forever beyond change;

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 30, 16, 34a

Y ou needn't listen to me; listen to the Logos [within]. When you do, you will agree that all things are One.

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 50

T he best of men choose to know the One above all else;
It is the famous "Eternal" within mortal men.
But the majority of men are complacent, like well-fed cattle. They revel in mud; like donkeys, they prefer chaff to gold.

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 29, 13, 9

Y ou could not in your travels find the source or destination of the soul, so deeply hidden is the Logos.
[But] I searched for It [and found It] within myself.
That hidden Unity is beyond what is visible.
All men have this capacity of knowing themselves, [for] the soul has the Logos within it, which can be known when the soul is evolved.
What is within us remains the same eternally;
It is the same in life and death, waking and sleeping, youth and old age; for, It has become this world, and the world must return to It.

Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 45, 101, 54, 116, 115,88

W ithout It, the fairest universe is but a randomly scattered dust-heap. If we are to speak with intelligence, we must found our being on that which is common to all... For that Logos which governs man is born of the One, which is Divine. It [the Divine] governs the universe by Its will, and is more than sufficient to everyone.

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 124 and 114

T hough men are inseparable from the Logos, yet they are separated in it; and though they encounter it daily, they are alienated from it

Heraclitus quote, Philosophy
Adapted from fragments of Heraclitus found in Freeman, K., 1962; pp. 24-34. Fragment nbr. 72

T herefore, offer to Me all your works and rest your mind on the Supreme. Be free from vain hopes and selfish thoughts, and with inner peace fight your fight.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
3:30; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

T he man who has found the joy of the Spirit and in the Spirit has his satisfaction and his peace, that man is beyond the law of karma (actions and rewards). He is beyond what is done and not done. He is beyond the world of mortal beings. In freedom from the bonds of attachment, do, therefore, the work to be done; for the man whose work is pure attains indeed the Supreme.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
3:17-19; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

S et your heart upon your work, but never on its reward. Work not for a reward; but never cease to do your work. ...

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
2:47; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

W hen a man surrenders all desires that come to the heart, and by the grace of God finds the joy of God in himself, then his soul has indeed found peace.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
2:55; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

A man attains perfection when his work is worship of God, from whom all things come and who exists within everyone.
Greater is your own work, even if it is meager, than the work of another, even if it is great. When a man does the work that God gives him, no sin can touch him.
And a man should not abandon his work, even if he cannot achieve it in full perfection; because in all work there is some imperfection, as in all fire there is some smoke.
... It is better to perish in your own work, than to flourish in another's.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
18:46-48 and 3:35; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

B ecause I am beyond the perishable, and even beyond the imperishable, in this world and in the Vedas I am known as "the Supreme."
One who, with a clear vision, sees Me as "the Supreme," knows all there is to be known; his soul is merged in Me.
I have revealed to you the most secret teaching, Arjuna. He who has realized it has realized the Truth, and his task in this world is done.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism

My Prakrti is his Mother, and I [Purusha] am the Father who gave him life.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
14:4; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

H e who knows that he is, himself, the Lord of all, and is ever the same in all, immortal though experiencing the Field of mortality, he knows the truth of existence.

And when a man realizes that the Purusha in himself is the same Purusha in all, he does not hurt himself by hurting others. This is the highest knowledge. He who sees that all actions, everywhere, are only the actions of Prakrti, and that the Purusha is the witness of these actions, he sees the Truth. ...

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
13:27-34; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

O nly by love can men see Me and know Me, and enter into Me.
He who works for Me, who loves Me, whose supreme Goal is Me, free from attachment to all things, and with true love for all creation, he, truly, becomes one with Me.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
11:54-55; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

I f the light of a thousand Suns suddenly arose in the sky, that splendor might be compared to the radiance of the supreme Spirit. And Arjuna saw in that radiance the whole universe in its infinite variety, standing in one vast Unity as the body of God.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
11:12-13; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

T heir thoughts are on Me, their life is in Me, and they give light to all. They speak always of Me, and in Me they find peace and joy.
To those who focus their minds on Me, who worship Me with their love, I give the yoga of vision whereby they come to Me.
Give Me your mind and give Me your heart; give Me your offerings and your adoration. Thus, with your soul focused solely on Me as your supreme Goal, truly, you shall come to Me.

The Bhagavat Gita quote, Hinduism
10:8-10 and 9:34; based on Mascaro, Juan, 1962

A t the end of the 'night' of time, all things return to My Prakrti; and when the new 'day' of time begins, I bring them again into manifestation.

Thus, through My Prakrti, I bring forth all creation, and all these worlds revolve in the cycle of time. But I am not bound by this vast display of creation; I exist alone, watching the drama of this play. I watch, while Prakrti brings forth all that moves and moves not; thus the worlds go on revolving. But the fools of the world know Me not; ... they know not the supreme Spirit, the infinite God of all.

Still, there are a few great souls who know Me, and who take refuge in Me. They love Me with a single love, knowing that I am the Source of all.

They praise Me with devotion; ... their spirit is one with Me, and they worship Me with their love. They worship Me, and work for Me, surrendering themselves in My vision. They worship Me as the One and the many, knowing that all is contained in Me.
