• No se trata de cuánto sabes o puedes definir, o cuántos millones de mantras o miles de postraciones has hecho, o a cuántos meses de wangs has asistido. Lo importante es si la mente está cambiando de verdad o no, si nuestras emociones negativas se están controlando de verdad, si estamos empezando a comprendernos a nosotros mismos, si nuestra mente está mejorando de verdad y si en nuestro corazón hay amor genuino y cariño por los demás.

• Si Allah hubiera levantado el velo para su siervo y le hubiera mostrado cómo Él maneja sus asuntos por él, y cómo Allah está más interesado en el beneficio del siervo que en su propio yo, su corazón se habría derretido por el amor a Allah y se habría hecho pedazos por el agradecimiento a Allah. Por eso, si las penas de este mundo te cansan, no te aflijas. Porque puede ser que Allah desee oír tu voz por medio de la Dua'a. Así que derrama tus deseos en la postración y olvídate de ello y sabe; que ciertamente Allah no lo olvida.

• Desde luego, iba por buen camino para un derrame cerebral cuando salí de París. Después lo pagué muy bien. Cuando dejé de beber, cuando dejé de fumar tanto, cuando empecé a pensar de nuevo en lugar de intentar no pensar... ¡Dios mío, la depresión y la postración que me produjo! El trabajo en este magnífico entorno natural (Arles) me ha devuelto la moral, pero incluso ahora algunos esfuerzos son demasiado para mí: me fallan las fuerzas.

• There is "a mental fatigue which is a spurious kind of remorse, and has all the anguish of the nobler feeling. It is an utter weariness and prostration of spirit, a sickness of heart and mind, a bitter longing to lie down and die.

• In passing around the holy aged house (Kaa'bah), and crossing the Safa and Marwa lanes, in prayer inside the Ka'bah, in bowing and prostration, Kuwait was a prayer throbbed in my heart and uttered by my tongue.. Praying for God to protect us from the evils of ourselves and our bad deeds, Praying for God to keep blessing the people of Kuwait with the grace of unity, not to be torn by a difference, and the grace of love not to be destroyed by disputes, and the grace of progress not to be hampered by prejudices.

• To say that there is a case for heroes is not to say that there is a case for hero worship. The surrender of decision, the unquestioning submission to leadership, the prostration of the average man before the Great Man -- these are the diseases of heroism, and they are fatal to human dignity. History amply shows that it is possible to have heroes without turning them into gods. And history shows, too, that when a society, in flight from hero worship, decides to do without great men at all, it gets into troubles of its own.

  Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

• Mature art, I think, emerges when there's a certain balance
  of tensions, when there's neither neurotic prostration nor
  cold rationality, but an aura of energy and a drive to grasp
  personal "truths" still emerging into perception.
  To grasp and to shape them.

• Pobre humanidad, cargar a los dioses con semejante responsabilidad y arrojarles un temperamento vengativo. ¡Qué penas incuban para sí mismos, qué llagas supurantes para nosotros, qué lágrimas para nuestra prosperidad! Esto no es piedad, este espectáculo repetido de inclinar la cabeza con velo ante una imagen esculpida; este bullicio ante cada altar; esta reverencia y postración en el suelo con las palmas extendidas ante los santuarios de los dioses; esta avalancha de voto sobre voto. La verdadera piedad reside más bien en el poder de contemplar el universo con una mente tranquila.

  Lucrecio

• As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

• Tengo la sospecha de que los deportes físicos eran mucho más eficaces y benéficos cuando no se tomaban tan en serio. Uno de los primeros requisitos para que el deporte sea saludable es que sea placentero; se está convirtiendo rápidamente en una falsa religión con austeridades y postraciones.

• She suddenly saw Wimsey in a new light. She knew him to be intelligent, clean, courteous, wealthy, well-read, amusing and enamored, but he had not so far produced in her that crushing sense of inferiority which leads to prostration and hero-worship. But she now realized that there was, after all, something godlike about him. He could control a horse.
