A bunch of pornographic magazines!" "What did you do?" the other nuns asked. "Well, of course I threw them all in the trash." The second nun said, "Well, I can top that. I was in the father's room putting away the laundry and I found a bunch of condoms." "Oh my," gasped the other nuns. "What did you do?" they asked. "I poked holes in all of them," she replied. The third nun said, "Hoooooooly shit!" | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 5:13:41 PM | Talk as much philosophy as you like,
worship as many gods as you please,
observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns,
but liberation will never come, even after a hundred
aeons, without realizing the Oneness.
- Sankara
Belief gets in the way of learning. - Robert Heinlein
In love all of life's contradictions dissolve and disappear. Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict. - Rabindranath Tagore
All of mans troubles stem from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone. - Pascal
A king asked a sage to explain the Truth. In response the sage asked the king how he would convey the taste of a mango to someone who had never eaten anything sweet. No matter how hard the king tried, he could not adequately describe the flavor of the fruit, and, in frustration, he demanded of the sage "Tell me then, how would you describe it?" The sage picked up a mango and handed it to the king saying "This is very sweet. Try eating it!" - Hindu Teaching Story
Illness is not cured by saying the word "medicine," but by taking medicine. Enlightenment is not achieved by repeating the word "God" but by directly experiencing God. - Sankara
Just sit there right now
Don't do a thing, just rest.
For your separation from God, from love,
Is the hardest work in this world.
