Spiritual, life, knowledge. The power within
" Life is not measured by the number of breath we take, but the moments that take our breath away"
Dear spiritual visitor, I 'd like to ask you that, as a human being how do we gain knowledge on how to be? From experiences of self, others and many other things, thus this becomes learning, as simple as this fact is, this is not exactly knowing rather learning, because there is no set guides or there is not a life manual for knowing the ways for the comfort of our hearts. Through understanding, compassion, gratitude, reason, spiritual teachers, feelings of love, logic, heightened spiritual sense also human history etc, we all have different ways of understanding our true nature, to come to a sense of knowing.
Thus making us unique and we also learn from one another, there is saying that "No mind is above another" meaning that, I don't know any better than you, nor you don't know any better than me, it's just you know of different things than I and vice versa.
Reasoning with proverbs are the means for activating the awakening of ones heart. These fundamental concepts of spiritual masters allow us to build foundations of understanding which will have cause effect for happiness, joy, love, prosperity and liberation from narrow view points.
On this page I have gathered some readings that I personally believe to be of utmost benefit as far as our understanding of our true nature is concerned, by reading and giving thought to these proverbs, I hope it will allow the seed of expansion to grow. And note; as long as we are here in this spiritual transition, we can always learn more, thus, this is the meaning of growing. We never grow old, we simply grow.
Please try to reason with the meanings of these universal proverbs which I have heart picked from around the World, by you allowing time and debating the meanings of these proverbs within the kingdom called thinking, then I hope you in your heart will make the ones that seem reasonable yours, for they will serve you along your journey in this garden of life. I will keep adding more and I really hope that you trade the precious time you have exploring these proverbs.
