If I told you about a land of love...would you swallow it as a remedy?
Yunus EmreTags: spirituality
True spiritual love is not a feeble imitation and anticipation of death, but a triumph over death, not a separation of the immortal form from the mortal, of the eternal from the temporal, but a transfiguration of the mortal into the immortal, the acceptance of the temporal into the eternal. False spirituality is a denial of the flesh; true spirituality is the regeneration of the flesh, its salvation, its resurrection from the dead.

The great point in Christianity is the search for an independent content for spiritual life which, according to the insights of its founder, could be elevated, not by the forces of a world external to the soul of man, but by the revelation of a new world within his soul. Islam fully agrees with this insight and supplements it by the further insight that the illumination of the new world thus revealed is not something foreign to the world of matter but permeates it through and through.
Thus the affirmation of spirit sought by Christianity would come not by the renunciation of external forces which are already permeated by the illumination of spirit, but by a proper adjustment of man's relation to these forces in view of the light received from the world within.

Religion is to follow someone else's word as truth; whereas Spirituality is to discover your own truth through inquiry, experimentation and experience.

A healer's power stems not from any special ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses.

Believing is not the same as knowing. Believing is second-hand knowledge, whereas knowing is first-hand experience. When your action comes from a level of belief, there is fear, doubt and restlessness behind such action. When your action comes from a level of knowing, there is conviction, certainty and calm behind such action.

Oткриће психологије, до кога је дошло на Западу, било je
резултат разочарања западног човека, тј. последица одбацивања и
пренебрегавања читавог подвижничког Предања Цркве. За западног
човека, отуђеног од исихастичкоподвижничког предања, психологија је
представљала право чудо. Међутим, психологија за Православље није
никакво чудо. Да живе у наше време, Оци би се чудили над нечим другим
– над човековом фасцинираношћу психологијом. Баш као што и
савремени подвижници, тј. савремени Оци – који искуствено познају сва
унутарња стања душе човекове, како лукавштине ђаволове и палост
“старога човека”, тако и дејство благодатних енергија Божјих – сматрају
открића психологије релативно незанимљивим. Кажем, незанимљивим,
зато што је осредње знање од мале важности за оног ко је примио
савршено знање. Колико се божанска мудрост разликује од људске
мудрости, толико се и православна психотерапија разликује од
хуманистичке психотерапије. Чега занимљивог за човека који живи и
доживљава Божју љубав – ту једину савршену љубав, ту
“богосједињујућу и свеобуимајућу силу”, то “иступљење ума”, ту
“разбуктаност духа”, ту “огњену и неподносиву чежњу и жеђ” – може
бити у открићима о острашћеној и онечишћеној “љубави”, која није
ништа друго до пад љубави и идол? Зато и Оци наших дана, који својим
животом пројављују свецело искуство Цркве, сматрају безначајним
наводно “просветљујућа” открића савремене психологије.
