Inspirational Quotes about Spiritual. Inspirational and motivational quotes on Spiritual.

We have long ago forgotten what it means to contemplate some- thing. With the click of a computer mouse we can get the answer, or what promises to be the answer, to almost any question we can imagine. All of the world's most ancient spiritual teachings are but a click or download away, and yet we remain so lost to ourselves, so cut off from what nourishes the soul, that we are collectively suffocating under the weight of our ignorance and alienation from the sacred dimension of Life.

~ Adyashanti

I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

When we stop trying to create happiness, happiness comes by itself.

It is a common mistake to believe we have to work hard for happiness, or that happiness is conditioned by what we have, and who we are in society. Happiness is the experience of mind when there is no presence of fear. That's all. It's simple.
As with everything in the truly spiritual life, that which is valuable comes only when we have relinquished that which is invaluable – when we have let go.
So don't seek happiness, let go of your fears and obsessions, let go of your doubts and worries, and look, there it is!
May all beings be happy.

~ Michael Kewley

Actually, there is no separation between spiritual life and the worldly life. Any distinction we may experience exists only in our mind, for in reality one is the proving ground for the other.

~ Michael Kewley

The most difficult thing for spiritual seekers to do is to stop struggling, striving, seeking, and searching. Why? Because in the absence of struggle you don't know who you are; you lose your boundaries, you lose your separateness, you lose your specialness, you lose the dream you have lived all your life. Eventually you lose everything that your mind has created and awaken to who you truly are: the fullness of freedom, unbound by any identifications, identities, or boundaries.

~ Adyashanti

The sight of someone eating will not appease your hunger. The spiritual experiances of another will not satisfy your yearning.

~ Sufi Saying

God is always joking. Look at your own life. It is a joke! Look at other people's lives, and you will find jokes and jokes and jokes. Seriousness is illness; seriousness has nothing spiritual about it. Spirituality is laughter, spirituality is joy, spirituality is fun.

~ Osho

To undertake a genuine spiritual path is not to avoid difficulties but to learn the art of making mistakes wakefully, to bring to them the transformative power of our heart.

~ Jack Kornfield

Just stop your wandering. Look penetratingly into your original nature, and, concentrating your spiritual energy, sit in Meditation, and break through.

~ Bassui Tokusho

Contemplation is the highest expression of man's intellectual and spiritual life. It is that life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive. It is a spiritual wonder. It is spontaneous awe at the sacredness of life, of being. It is gratitude for life, for awareness and for being.

~ Thomas Merton

We do not build or create a spiritual consciousness; we merely get rid of all that obscures our pure vision

~ Roy Eugene Davis

It took me many years, but I finally got the answer. It is this. That there is no future experience, no future state, no future revelation which can free you from the fundamental terror of possessing a singular mind. The essence of any genuine spiritual journey must be the final understanding that the journey is an illusion. It is only when the mind is brought into silence, into full presence within this moment, in the here and now, that you will ever be truly free.

~ Marcus T. Anthony

Why then do so many people seek spiritual liberation in books, in teachings, in gurus, and in spiritual guidance from another realm? The reason is that at a deep level the mind does not want to be here. It does not want to accept the mundane world of now. And the main reason for that is because within the psyche of most of us there is a great deal of trapped pain.

~ Marcus T. Anthony

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.

~ Buddha

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

~ Buddha

Why separate your spiritual life and your practical life? To an integral being, there is no such distinction.

~ Lao Tzu

To open deeply, as genuine spiritual life requires, we need tremendous courage and strength... a kind of warrior spirit.
And the place for this warrior strength is in the heart.

~ Jack Kornfield

Zen is not a psychiatric or therapeutic discipline; it's a spiritual one. It's supposed to get energy moving on a deep, fundamental, life-changing level. Its purpose is to orient you toward the truth, toward reality, whatever this takes. It's not supposed to boss you around with behavioral or self-help dictates or to shoehorn you into the slipper of well-adjusted citizenhood.

~ Shozan Jack Haubner

Zen meditation is plain and simple. There are no goals, no magic, no transcendental bullshit experiences, no spiritual meaning-strictly speaking. For when you look for any of these things, you are missing the entire point of your practice: to let go.

When people are stressed they don't need to know any bullshit about chakras, or mental pictures, or being one with the Universe or God, or any of that stuff.

We just want peaceful sound of silence, so we have the ability for the mud of our fears and our attachments settle and see things clearly. Nothing has to be done; we must simply observe it pass.

There's a saying in Zen that says that real wisdom is not think about spirituality while peeling the potatoes, but merely peeling the potatoes.

There are two rules on the spiritual path
