Eternal Quotes

“My soul will go to its grave with your name echoing in my mind.”
― Kaylie Smith, Phantasma

“Humans were not the beings I first thought them to be. Why had my mind convinced me they were angelic when I first became aware that I too, was once human? It seemed that both the mind of a human as well as the mind of a vampire could twist and alter the truth. ”
― Eli Wilde, My Unbeating Heart

“You needed to be taught a lesson. The kind of lesson that binds one man to another man. You removed a valuable commodity from me. A commodity that was going to provide me with a new face.”
― Eli Wilde, My Unbeating Heart

“As I stared back at him, his eyes seemed to milk my very essence, like it was essential he knew every minute detail about me.”
― Eli Wilde, My Unbeating Heart

“Always - an eternal road…
Always ours is the world…
Always always is a new road…
Always is for love a word…
Always forests will be calm…
Always hearts will love - a psalm…
Always they will run - hearts never stop…
Always the eternal mountain path they top…”

“When Eternal is your love for me,
real will all my dreams, with you, be,
since my dream is just one – a bride,
to walk with, forever, alone, side by side…”

“Who comes? Who goes? All is as it is. Coming and going is also a dream.

For example, in the night you fall asleep, a dream arises. In the morning the dream disappears. Do you think you had gone somewhere and you have come back? You find yourself in the same room, on the same bed, and all that dreaming! You may have travelled to faraway places - you may have visited the moon, the planets, the stars - but m the morning when you wake up you don't wake up on a star. You wake up in the same place where you had slept.

Life is a dream! We are where we are. We are that which we are. Not for a single moment have we moved, and not a single inch have we moved from our true nature! This is the ultimate statement of truth.

Waves arise in the ocean and then disappear in the ocean. When the wave arises in the ocean it is still the ocean, as much as it was before it had risen. And then it disappears back into the ocean.

Forms arise and disappear, the reality remains as it is. All changes are only appearances. Deep, at the deepest core, nothing ever changes; there it is all the same. Time is a peripheral phenomenon.

At the center there is no time, no change, no movement. All is eternal there.”
― Osho, The secret of secrets

“To be sincere is one thing, to be serious is another. A man who loves life is sincere, authentic, but never serious.

Remember, an authentic religious person is not fear-oriented, he is love-oriented. A really authentic religious person becomes religious to enjoy life more, to enjoy it deeply and totally.

A real religious man looks at life as a game: it is not business, it is a game. Hindus call it LEELA, a play; not even a game but a play.

There is a difference between a game and play. Children play, but you even make a game out of play. Then it becomes business-like, then even in playing you are seeking victory, success, gain, profit.

Life is a play. There is nothing to be achieved out of it, it itself is the goal; there is nowhere to reach, it itself is the Ultimate.
It is just like children playing, you cannot ask them: For what are you playing? What is the purpose? They will say: We are simply playing. It is so beautiful! Profit is not their concern, and profit should also not be your concern, but play.

Life is a moment to celebrate, to enjoy. Make it fun, a celebration, and then you will enter the temple.

...if you have lived, lived a life of celebrations, then you can die celebrating - it is fun. When you know that you are not going to die, that something in you is eternal, then the whole of life becomes fun. It is a great cosmic joke and you can play with it.”
― Osho, Returning to the Source: Talks on Zen

“Though my life is like grass that grows one day and withers away the next, God is so permanent, so unbending, so eternal, He makes the rocks look like vapors in the wind, the earth itself look like a drop in the ocean. So vast and immeasurable, He makes the boundless depths of space and the endless lengths of time look meager and insignificant. And this Being, Creator of all, set His love on me. This Being chose to make me an object of His eternal love.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“When the eternal God looked at my record and said, “Michael is found guilty, the penalty of his crimes is death and his crimes must be paid for in hell,” Jesus didn’t just sit there pleading for my forgiveness saying, “Please forgive Michael. Please have mercy on him.” No, He made a case for me and got a verdict on my behalf. He took the penalty on Himself and fulfilled everything that the law required.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“The cost was the life of the eternal, immortal, invisible God, the One who created everything, made us, and gave us His word to guide us. This was the God we rejected in order to do our own thing, and each go our own way. He who is a trillion times bigger than us entered knowingly into our shoes, although we are a trillion times smaller than a speck of dust in comparison. He made Himself like us, weak, frail, and puny so He could die in our place. He did this to give us hope for our future, an eternal hope that extends even beyond the veil of this life.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“Jesus made a series of the most radical claims that have ever been spoken. “I am the eternal God who created everything. I have power to do anything. I have gained victory over death. I will give you eternal life if you believe in me.” He promises to anyone willing to trust in Him that death will not be their end.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“And I roam the rainy alleys of your voice
get lost in the forests of your eyes
I yield to the city of your mouth
and dream in the valley of your breast
Oh to be this empty and this drunk
to be this mortal and eternal at once
Oh to forget and keep forgetting oneself
—this is the only living”
― Kamand Kojouri

“The ageing, oppressive, authoritarian dictator tends to forget one axiomatic truth; the nation and the people have time, he does not.”
― R. N. Prasher

“I can differentiate between the eternal and the transient with precision”
― Leo Lourdes, A World of Yoga: 700 Asanas for Mindfulness and Well-Being

“The nights again will be on fire, like this, -
forever, I’ll look, without you, freshness for;
beneath the eternal ancient Populus trees,
and freshness I’ll find in the night, above all…

And winter will come later, once more, again,
when vile winds will howl right outside, being mean,
yet there, in the heart, with no refrain,
I will have softness, dreamlike, clean…”
― Will Advise, На чист Български...: Pristine Bulgarian sayings...

“When your voice is soft like snow,
all the words you pick to show,
that even your nothing can be a good rhyme.

Like snow, since of water, the snowflakes are made,
the water flows soft, yet it cuts right through jade…

Words make a path, in Eternal mind-planes,
while thoughts turn to actions, eternal, from brains…

Our actions are done sometimes meaning without,
And someone once wrote, they give dreams here… about.

Somewhere in the boundless grey mists dreams sprout…”

“Beauty is the language of the divine, a song that resonates within our souls, calling us to seek union with the beloved. It is a reminder of our eternal connection to the source of all love and the spiritual longing that drives us to seek transcendence.”
― Salil Jha

“And a people - or, for that matter, a human being - only has value to the extent that it is able to put the stamp of the eternal on its experiences; for in doing so it sheds, one might say, its worldliness and reveals its unconscious, inner conviction that time is relative and that the true meaning oflife is metaphysical.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy and Other Writings

“A soul shattered is a heart broken for eternal life.”
― Dina Husseini

“In existence you cannot make clear-cut divisions, everything melts into each other. It is oneness expressing in millions of ways: as a man, as a rose, as a fish... it is the same life. And this is the mystery of life - that it can become a rose, and it can become a fish, and it can become a man, and it can become a buddha.

This possibility of eternal manifestations, of infinite manifestations, makes life a joy, a song, a life worth living. If everything is explained, life will become very finite, very small, not worth living. It is the mysteriousness - you may be aware of it or not, but if you are aware, you can rejoice in it more clearly. It is the mysteriousness of life, it is its unknowability, its unpredictability, that makes it so juicy.”
― Osho

“Life is eternal. Life is immortal. It changes forms, certainly, just like the waves in the ocean go on changing but the ocean remains. Bodies come and go, minds come and go, but your innermost witness remains always there. And that witness is God.”
― Osho, The Guest: Talks on Kabir: Fifteen Spontaneous Talks

“Death exists not; it is one of the most illusory things. Death is the shadow of another lie -- the name of that other lie is the ego. Death is the shadow of the ego. Because the ego is, death appears to be there.

The secret of knowing death, of understanding death, is not in death itself. You will have to go deeper into the existence of the ego. You will have to look, watch, observe, be aware of what this ego is. And the day you have found that there is no ego, that there has never been -- it appeared only because you were not aware, it appeared only because you were keeping your own existence in darkness -- the day it is understood that the ego is a creation of an unconscious mind, the ego disappears and simultaneously death disappears.

The real you is eternal. Life is neither born nor dies. The ocean continues, waves come and go -- but what are waves? Just forms, the wind playing with the ocean. Waves have no substantial existence. So are we, waves, playthings.

But if we look deep down into the wave there is an ocean, and the eternal depth of it and the unfathomable mystery of it. Look deep down into your own being and you will find the ocean. And that ocean is; the ocean always is. You cannot say, 'It was,' you cannot say, 'It will be.' You can only use one tense for it, the present tense: it is.

This is the whole search of religion. The search is to find that which truly is. We have accepted things which really are not, and the greatest and the most central of them is the ego. And of course it casts a big shadow -- that shadow is death.

To know life is to know there is no death, there never has been. Nobody has ever died, I declare, and nobody is ever going to die. Death is impossible in the very nature of things -- only life is.”
― Osho, The Book of Wisdom

“..seriousness has been misunderstood as sincerity. Seriousness is a sickness. A serious seeker is searching for truth with sadness, with a burden on his head. He is not interested in the pilgrimage.

Life is eternal, hence there cannot be any goal. All ideas of goals are contradictory to the idea of eternal life. And if life is eternal, then you have to enjoy each moment as if you have reached the goal. Each moment is a goal in itself. Don't wait to rejoice when you have reached the goal. That kind of goal does not exist. Use every moment as if you have arrived. It is always as if you have arrived. You are always arriving.

And I don't think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious tree. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are all laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration. I teach you celebration. And laughter has certainly to be one of the major ingredients in this celebration.”
― Osho

“Sanatan means eternal, timeless, deathless.

These are our real qualities. We are never born and we never die. The body is
only a shelter, we are not it. It is only like a garment which one has to change
when it is too old. And we have changed the garment so many times. We differ
from other people only if the form and the shape and the color and the size of the
garment. The innermost reality is the same.

To find it, to find that which is never born and never dies, is the real goal of all
religious enquiry. One can call it god, liberation, nirvana, enlightenment. They
are different names for the same phenomenon. And it is not to be searched for
somewhere else, it is within you. It is you, so you have to dive deep into your
own nature.

Sannyas is a pilgrimage from the periphery to the center, from your own surface
to your depth.”
― Osho

“Books, fruits, and flowers....they give you the delicious poetry in a cup, the wine that keeps you eternally drunken...”
― Jayita Bhattacharjee

“God is like the sky, like the empty sky.

It has no boundaries so it cannot be defined. You cannot say where it begins and where it ends. It is eternal, it is infinite -- yet it is right in this place, just in front of you. If you are relaxed it is there; if you become tense it disappears.

Life cannot be possessed because life is God. Existence cannot be possessed because existence is God.

YOU CANNOT TAKE HOLD OF IT.

-- remember --

BUT YOU CANNOT LOSE IT.

Yes, you cannot possess it, but there is no way to lose it either. It is there. It is always there.

You have to drop your rush, your hurry, your ideas to go somewhere, to reach, to become, to be this and that. You have to stop becoming. And it is there; you cannot lose it.

There is no competition, there is nobody blocking your way, there are no competitors.

You need not be in a hurry. You need not make any effort to grab. There is nobody competing with you and there is nobody standing in front of you -- only God, only God.

You can relax. You need not be afraid that you will miss it. You cannot miss it in the very nature of things. You cannot lose him. You relax.

There is no hurry because God is not something in time -- relax. There is nowhere to go because God is not distant in some star -- relax. You cannot miss in the very nature of things -- relax.

relax. Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand -- relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.

God is so big, so huge, so enormous. It is the totality of existence -- who can exhaust it?

There is no struggle, no competition. And there is eternal time available. Don't be in a hurry and don't be serious.”
― Osho, Zen: The Path of Paradox

“Nothing remains till the end of time. Take delight in what you have while you have it, for all, it is.. a moment's delight yet to find the eternal in the joy slipping away...”
― Jayita Bhattacharjee

“I am confident that God does exactly what He says He does. But I am also sorely aware of the fact that the limitations of my humanity struggle in their ability to embrace the limitlessness of the things He does. Therefore, I am forever thankful that my limits never define His, but that His will never cease to expand mine.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Life, one ultimately learns, is nothing but an eternal cycle of birth, living and death. Nature is in a perpetual dance of impermanence."
