Anandamayi Ma was a spiritual leader and guru from Bengal, India, widely recognized for her spiritual wisdom and enlightened state. She was born as Nirmala Sundari on April 30, 1896, and left her physical form on August 27, 1982. Unlike many other spiritual leaders, she did not adhere to a specific religion or tradition but rather spoke from a state of universal mysticism and profound inner experience. Anandamayi Ma was known for her joyful presence and profound spiritual insights, which attracted followers from various backgrounds, including prominent spiritual and intellectual figures of her time. She didn't establish any ashrams or religious organizations or write any books. However, her teachings and sayings have been collected by her followers. "Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you. Reflect that someday you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world—so make the acquaintanceship of God now." "My consciousness has never associated itself with this temporary body. Before I came on this earth, Father, 'I was the same.' As a little girl, 'I was the same.' I grew into womanhood, but still, 'I was the same.' When the family in which I had been born made arrangements to have this body married, 'I was the same.' And, Father, in front of you now, 'I am the same.' Ever afterward, though the dance of creation changes around me in the hall of eternity, 'I shall be the same.'" The Gospel Of Shri Anandamayi Ma Volume 1: Conversations With The Divine Mother - https://amzn.to/3StP3rS Her teachings emphasize the importance of self-realization, the joy inherent in existence, and a deep connection with the divine that transcends religious boundaries. Anandamayi Ma's life and words continue to inspire spiritual seekers around the world. #anandamayima #anandama #hindusaint

Abelard (1079-1142) was a French philosopher, theologian, and logician. Some notable quotes by Peter Abelard include: "The key to wisdom is this - constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth." "By doubting we are led to inquire, and by inquiring we perceive the truth." "We seek, we love, we hope, we doubt: all are always in motion. But motion leads to rest and stability, while the unstable mind remains wandering and wavering." "I put forward nothing dogmatically; nor do I claim to discover finally any truth except that which will be revealed to me at last when the time comes for knowing all things." "There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence." "The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth." Abelard used dialectic logic and reasoned analysis to explore theological and philosophical questions. He emphasized the importance of doubt, inquiry, and questioning in pursuing truth and wisdom. Though controversial in his time, his ideas influenced later scholars in developing scholastic philosophy.

Atisha, also known as Atiśa Dīpaṅkara Śrījñāna, was an Indian Buddhist scholar and meditation master who played a crucial role in the spread of Buddhism in Tibet. He lived during the 10th and 11th centuries and is revered for his teachings on the Bodhisattva path and his emphasis on compassion. He traveled to Tibet in 1042 CE at the invitation of the Tibetan king to promote Buddhist teachings. He helped revive Buddhism in Tibet after a period of instability and consolidate key Buddhist teachings and practices. This helped lay the foundations for what would become the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. Atisha is known for promoting a gradual path to enlightenment that focused on ethics, compassion, and wisdom training. Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment - https://amzn.to/3Rrosdj Some quotes reflecting his teachings: "As long as you are too focused on your self, you will simply continue to make mistakes. Nirvana is only attained when you give up on yourself." "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." "It is not through severity that virtue is established, but by patience, understanding, and love." " Three things are necessary at the time of death: recognizing the signs that death is coming, abandoning the self, and praying to one's teacher." #atisha #tibetanbuddhism #nirvana
