In India when we meet and part we often say, "Namaste," which means: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides;  I honor the place in you of love,
of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us….. "Namaste."

Ram Dass



"Oh, yes, I went to the white man's schools. I learned to read from school books, newspapers and the Bible. But in time I learned that they were not enough.
Civilized people depend too much on man-made printed pages. I turn to the Great Spirit's book which is the whole of his creation.
You can read a big part of that book if you study nature. You know, if you take all your books, lie them out under the sun,
and let the snow and rain and insects work on them for a while, there will be nothing left.
But the Gret Spirit has provided you and me with an opportunity for study in nature's university, the forests, the rivers
the mountains, and the animals which include us."   Tatange Mani, a Stoney Indian; in a passage from his autobiography



"One moment of being One with All
   is equal to a hundred years of obedience."

 Tajikistan saying









Things are not as they appear; nor are they otherwise.
