The principle of highest self-revelation is a synonym of fullness. […] It is full and complete in all respects. Full is always full. This fullness is beyond the related cause and effects of the universe. It is not an object of contemplation because there is no contemplator, and vice versa. It is unworshippable as there is no worshipper. It is neither mantra nor the reciter of mantra nor the deity for whom mantra is recited. It is neither initiator nor initiation nor initiated. This type of state is called fullness and that fullness is Mahesvara, the highest Lord full of all glories.
~ Abhinavagupta - On Fullness

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

There is no difference between knowledge and temperance; for he who knows what is good and embraces it, who knows what is bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.

I believe in the spirit of innocence, the wonder that shapes us and
leads us to dream.
I believe that life is a gift to be unwrapped every day
and given freely to those in need.
I believe that even in our darkest hour, we can take a deep breath
and start all over again.
Most of all, I believe in the Power of Love
and that in the end it will heal us all.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
