I think enlightenment is something that you decide to do after you have met someone who is enlightened. Something touches your heart, your being at a very deep level.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In every artistic activity a new world is created, the cosmos, a world enlightened and free.
Nikolai Berdyaev
Image
Democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Image
It is still the arena of those who dream of the City of Man and those who envision a City of Things. The battle appears to be forever joined. The armies, ignorant and enlightened, clash by day as well as night. Chicago is America's dream, writ large. And flamboyantly.
Studs Terkel
Image
We are shaped by our thoughts we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Sometimes when you are with an enlightened teacher, you will feel both pleasant and unpleasant things magnified. That happens when you meditate with someone who goes into very strong states of altered consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How do you become enlightened? I don't know: Luck, karma, skill, friends in high places, friends in low places.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightened legislation or enlightened social activity of whatever kind, does play into the hands of people with agendas of their own. If you legalize euthanasia, you provide a field day for people who like killing other people.
J. G. Ballard
Image
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Celibacy doesn't make you enlightened, otherwise every nun or priest in Buddhism or Christianity would be enlightened. People who don't date and can't get any action would be enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation.
Atifete Jahjaga
Image
No one on this earth attains enlightenment anymore without an enlightened master as a guide, unless that person was enlightened in many previous incarnations.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An enlightened teacher has personal power. Sitting and meditating with an enlightened teacher in a meditation hall or at a power spot can change you forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a great difference between feeding parties to wild beasts and stirring up their finer feelings in an inquisition. One is the system of degraded barbarians, the other of enlightened civilized people.
Mark Twain
Image
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.
Nikola Tesla
Image
People get very deep experiences and they think they're enlightened. That's not enlightenment, that's just some realization.
Tenzin Palmo
Image
A teacher is there to laugh at you because you have such a high opinion of yourself that you need to be laughed at. You need to sense how small we all are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Democracy disciplined and enlightened is the finest thing in the world. A democracy prejudiced, ignorant, superstitious, will land itself in chaos and may be self-destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Ramakrishna didn't suddenly become enlightened. We had years of him meditating, seeking, crying to Mother Kali, going in and out of samadhi but after many years of this process, he was enlightened. He was no longer a finite individual.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are going to focus on a teacher, you have to be focused on the teacher and not peripheral vibrations that might be around them or it will totally screw up your meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If I had to choose between a narrow-minded woman or a man who was an enlightened thinker, I would vote for the man.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Socialism proposes no adequate substitute for the motive of enlightened selfishness that today is at the basis of all human labor and effort, enterprise and new activity.
William Howard Taft
