Spiritual, life, knowledge. The power within

The sole purpose of our existence is to find perfection through goodness; therefore, only the knowledge which leads us to this is necessary - (Tolstoy)

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, as there is saying, that "No mind is above another" meaning, I don't know any better than you, nor, you don't know any better than me, it's just you are aware 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, and most importantly, freeing yourself from attachments to stress and worries of living in busy paced modern life brings forth.

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 awakening to grow. And debate within your mind will tell you, that the word "grown" has no basis in reality of who you are, as you can never be labelled as such, better word you can utilize would be "growing"

And please note; as long as we are here in this spiritual transition, we can always experience the beauty of sacredness, thus, this is the meaning of growing. You never are grown, nor, do you grow old, you 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 to focus and debating the meanings of these proverbs within your 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 at times explain what they mean in detail, so please check back regurlarly. I really hope that you trade the precious time you have, exploring these proverbs.
