Centre Quotes - Page 9

• Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Centre, a speaking voice, to which we may continuously return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto itself.

  Thomas Raymond Kelly

• I had always made pictures as I thought I saw the world, focusing on what lay in front, but this is not how one sees the world. It only frames the centre and cuts off the lateral vision, which lies unfocused. Now I found that I could turn my eye to the adjacent field of vision, seeing another focus, an extension which I added to the original. Instead of stopping at two focuses, I looked further to the side, adding another and yet another.

• That's the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional centre becomes an extrovert. When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards, but your conscious mind stretches everywhere. Study by observing how the mind gets regulated. You not only know the freedom in the spine, but also the freedom in the spirit.

• Refúgiate en el silencio. Puedes estar aquí, allí o en cualquier parte. Fijado en el silencio, establecido en el yo interior, puedes ser como eres. El mundo nunca te perturbará si estás bien cimentado en la tranquilidad interior. Reúne tus pensamientos en tu interior. Averigua el centro del pensamiento y descubre tu Auto-equipoise. En la tormenta y la agitación mantén la calma y el silencio. Observa los acontecimientos a tu alrededor como un testigo. El mundo es un drama. Sé un testigo, introvertido e introspectivo.

• Look back to the cross, and the disciples gazing on it in terror from afar, and then look around on the nations that are influenced by the faith that there centres - and note the change! Then take these elements, established in history, and calculate the orbit Christianity is to fill.

• And in between the two, in between the sky and the sea, were all the winds. And there were all the nights and all the moons. To be a castaway is to be a point perpetually at the centre of a circle. However much things may appear to change-the sea may shift from whisper to rage, the sky might go from fresh blue to blinding white to darkest black-the geometry never changes. Your gaze is always a radius. The circumference is ever great. In fact, the circles multiply. To be a castaway is to be caught in a harrowing ballet of circles.

• Cocinera era, sin duda, hasta la médula y el centro de su alma. No había pavo en el granero que no tuviese un semblante serio cuando la veía acercarse y pareciese estar reflexionando sobre su fin último; y lo cierto era que siempre estaba meditando sobre el trenzado, el relleno y el asado, hasta un punto que inspiraba terror a cualquier ave reflexiva viva.

• Paris is a city of centralisation--and centralisation and classification are closely allied. In the early times, when centralisation is becoming a fact, its forerunner is classification. All things which are similar or analogous become grouped together, and from the grouping of groups rises one whole or central point. We see radiating many long arms with innumerable tentaculae, and in the centre rises a gigantic head with a comprehensive brain and keen eyes to look on every side and ears sensitive to hear--and a voracious mouth to swallow.

• All too willingly man sees himself as the centre of the universe, as something not belonging to the rest of nature but standing apart as a different and higher being. Many people cling to this error and remain deaf to the wisest command ever given by a sage, the famous "Know thyself" inscribed in the temple of Delphi.
