“What you would withhold from the world you withhold from yourself, for you are not separate from the world.  In every situation, what you would keep is what you will not have because you keep it only from yourself.  What you give up you will receive in truth.  What you do not receive is a measure of what you withhold.  Your heart is accustomed to giving in a way that your mind is not.”  Mari Perron

“Love is.  It teaches by being what it is.  It does not do anything.  It does not strive.  It neither succeeds nor fails.  It is neither alive nor dead.  And thus it always was and always will be.  It is not particular to you as human beings.  It IS in relationship to everything.  All to All.”  Mari Perron

“The person has come into manifestation for a certain purpose.  That purpose will be accomplished whether he considers himself the actor or not.”  Sri Ramana Maharshi
