Q uestion: When they stood at Mount Sinai, the people said to Moses: "Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die." And Moses answered: "Fear not." He went on to say that God had come "that His fear may be before you, that ye sin not." Is not that a contradiction?
Answer: "Fear not"-this means: this fear of yours, the fear of death, is not the fear God wants of you. He wants you to fear him, he wants you to fear his remoteness, and not to fall into sin which removes you from him.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.17

E very lock has its key which fits into and opens it. But there are strong thieves who know how to open locks without keys. They break the lock. So every mystery in the world can be unriddled by the particular kind of meditation fitted to it. But God loves the thief who breaks the lock open: I mean, the man who breaks his heart for God.

T he whole earth is full of His glory.' By his works within me, I know the One.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.17

T he understanding of man is not great enough to grasp the fact that God is beyond time. But you must understand that time exists only because we do not grasp it, only because our understanding is small. For the greater our understanding, the more time is on the wane. In a dream we live seventy years and discover, on awakening, that it was a quarter of an hour. In our life, which passes like a dream, we Eve seventy years and then we waken to a greater understanding which shows us that it was a quarter of an hour. With our small understanding we can never grasp what we will know with the greater. Perfect understanding is beyond time.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.16

I t is written: "I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd." This does not mean that the shepherd is not there. The shepherd is always there. But sometimes he hides, and then he is indeed not there to the sheep, because they do not see him.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.16

G od says to man as he said to Moses: "Put off thy shoes from off thy feet" - put off the habitual which encloses your foot and you will recognize that the place on which you happen to be standing at this moment is holy ground. For there is no rung of being on which we cannot find the holiness of God everywhere and at all times.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.15

R abbi Bunam began teaching with these words: "We thank You, who are blessed and who are the source of blessing, that you are manifest and hidden." Then he continued: "A fearless man must feel God as he feels the place on which he stands. And just as he cannot imagine himself without a place to stand on, so he must in all simplicity grow aware of God who is the Place of the world, and comprises it. But at the same time he must know that He is the hidden life which fills the world."

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.14

Q uestion: It is written: "And Israel saw the great hand," and further on it is written: ". . . And they believed in the Lord, and in His servant Moses." Why is this said? The question as to whether or not one believes can only be put while one does not as yet "see."
Answer: You are mistaken. It is only then that the true question can be put. Seeing the great hand does not mean that faith can be dispensed with. It is only after "seeing" that one realizes what the lack of faith means, and feels how very much one needs faith. The seeing of the great hand is the beginning of faith in that which one cannot "see."

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.13

W hy do we say: "Our God and the God of our fathers"?
There are two kinds of people who believe in God. One believes because he has taken over the faith of his fathers, and his faith is strong. The other has arrived at faith through thinking and studying. The difference between them is this: The advantage of the first is that, no matter what arguments may be brought against it, his faith can
not be shaken; his faith is firm because it was taken over from his fathers. But there is one flaw in it: he has faith only in response to the command of man, and he has acquired it without studying and thinking for himself. The advantage of the second is that, because he found God through much thinking, he has arrived at a faith of his own. But here too there is a flaw: it is easy to shake his faith by refuting it through evidence. But he who unites both kinds of faith is invincible. And so we say, "Our God" with reference to our studies, and "God of our fathers" with an eye to tradition.
The same interpretation has been given to our saying, "God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of jacob," and not "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," for this indicates that Isaac and. Jacob did not merely take over the tradition of Abraham; they themselves searched for God.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.13

T hose "devout" souls who knew that no one can be really devout in relation to God, if he is not devout toward His creation, and that the love of God is unreal, unless it is crowned with love for one's fellow men.

Martin Buber quote, Judaism, Hassidism
Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.7

J esus saw some babies nursing.
He said to his disciples:
"These babies nursing are like those
Who enter the kingdom.'
His disciples said to him:
"Shall we then enter the kingdom as babies?
" Jesus answered them and said:
'When you make the two into one,
"And when you make the inner like the outer,
'And the outer like the inner,
'And the upper like the lower,
'And when you make male and female
Into a single one,
"So that the male will not be male
'And the female not be female …
"Then you shall enter the kingdom.'

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
Logion 22, Gospel of Thomas, adapted from translations of the Gospel of Thomas by Anthony Duncan in Jesus: Essential Reading (Crucible Press, 1986).

I f they ask you,
"What is the sign of your Father in you?"
say to them, “it is movement and repose.”

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
Logion 50, Gospel of Thomas, adapted from translations of the Gospel of Thomas by Anthony Duncan in Jesus: Essential Reading (Crucible Press, 1986).

I f they say to you,
"Where did you come from?"
Say to them,
We came from the light,
The place where light came into being
Of its own accord
And established itself
And became manifested through their image.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
Logion 50, Gospel of Thomas, adapted from translations of the Gospel of Thomas by Anthony Duncan in Jesus: Essential Reading (Crucible Press, 1986).

I f your leaders say to you,
"Look, the kingdom is in the sky,"
then the birds of the sky will precede you.
If they say to you,
“It is in the sea,”
then the fish will precede you.

Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father.

But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty, and it is you who are that poverty.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
Logion 3, Gospel of Thomas, adapted from translations of the Gospel of Thomas by Anthony Duncan in Jesus: Essential Reading (Crucible Press, 1986).

A nd I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
John 17:1-6,20-26 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

N either pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
John 17:1-6,20-26 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more Can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in You, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love;
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
John 15:1-11 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

A t that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
John 14:15-21,25-27 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

E ven the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
John 14:15-21,25-27 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

E xcept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
John 3:5-8 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

V erily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter there.

Jesus Christ quote, Christianity
Mark 10:13-15 (AV), taken from the 1611 King James Version of the Bible

A soul shall wake in the Inconscient's house;
The mind shall be God-vision's tabernacle,
The body intuition's instrument,
And life a channel for God's visible power

Aurobindo Ghose quote, Hinduism
"Savitri" by Sri Aurobindo, in the Teaching of the Hindu Mystics, by Andrew Harvey, Shambala.

T he Spirit shall look out through Matter's gaze
And Matter shall reveal the Spirit's face.
Then man and superman shall be at one
And all the earth become a single life.

Aurobindo Ghose quote, Hinduism
"Savitri" by Sri Aurobindo, in the Teaching of the Hindu Mystics, by Andrew Harvey, Shambala.

T he gnostic individual would be the consummation of the spiritual man; his whole way of being, thinking, living, acting would be governed by the power of a vast universal spirituality. All the trinities of the Spirit would be real to his self-awareness and realized in his inner life. All his existence would be fused in oneness with the transcendent and universal Self and Spirit; all his action would originate from and obey the supreme Self and Spirit's divine governance of Nature. All life would have to him the sense of the Conscious Being, the Purusha within, finding its self-expression in Nature; his life and all its thoughts, feelings, acts would be filled for him with that significance and built upon that foundation of its reality. He would feel the presence of the Divine in every center of his consciousness, in every vibration of his life-force, in every cell of his body. In all the workings of his force of Nature he would be aware of the workings of the supreme World-Mother, the Super-nature; he would see his natural being as the becoming and manifestation of the power of the World-Mother. In this consciousness he would live and act in an entire transcendent freedom, a complete joy of the Spirit, an entire identity with the cosmic Self and a spontaneous sympathy with all in the universe.

Aurobindo Ghose quote, Hinduism
The New Race, in the Teaching of the Hindu Mystics, by Andrew Harvey, Shambala.

T he gnostic being, using Matter but using it without material or vital attachment or desire, will feel that he is using the Spirit in this form of itself with its consent and sanction for its own purpose. There will be in him a certain respect for physical things, an awareness of the occult consciousness in them, a worship of the Divine, the Brahman, in what he uses, a care for a perfect and faultless use of his divine material, for a true rhythm, ordered harmony, beauty in the life of Matter, in the utilization of Matter.
As a result of this new relation between the Spirit and the body, the gnostic evolution will effectuate the spiritualization, perfection and fulfillment of the physical being.

Aurobindo Ghose quote, Hinduism
The New Body, in the Teaching of the Hindu Mystics, by Andrew Harvey, Shambala.
