Brahma Quotes

• The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, no doubt by accident, to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long, longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.

• Just think, Vishnu sleeps in the cosmic ocean, and the lotus of the universe grows from his navel. On the lotus sits Brahma, the creator. Brahma opens his eyes, and a world comes into being, governed by an Indra. Brahma closes his eyes, and a world goes out of being. The life of a Brahma is 432,000 years. When he dies, the lotus goes back, and another lotus is formed, and another Brahma. Then think of the galaxies beyond galaxies in infinite space, each a lotus, with a Brahma sitting on it, opening his eyes, closing his eyes.

• That which goeth up must needs come down; and that which is down must needs go up. But Brahma has ordained that the that that goeth up is seldom the same as the that that hath gone down.

• Greater in battle
  than the man who would conquer
  a thousand-thousand men,
  is he who would conquer
  just one —
  himself.
  Better to conquer yourself
  than others.
  When you've trained yourself,
  living in constant self-control,
  neither a deva nor gandhabba,
  nor a Mara banded with Brahmas,
  could turn that triumph
  back into defeat.

• Children, everyone should try to wake up before five in the morning. The ideal time for spiritual practices like meditation and chanting is Brahma Muhurta. During this period, sattvic qualities are predominant in nature. Moreover, the mind will be clear and body energetic.

• Brahma fue excesivamente parco en tierra, agua y fuego..... El gasto imprudente de aire y éter en su composición era asombroso. Y, en consecuencia, luchaba perpetuamente por alcanzar al viento, por dejar atrás al espacio mismo. Otros animales corrían sólo cuando tenían una razón, pero el Caballo corría sin razón alguna, como si quisiera salir corriendo de su propio pellejo.

• Reality is a state of mind. To the banker, the money in his ledger book is all very real, though he doesn't actually see it or touch it. But to the Brahma, it simply doesn't exist the way the air and the earth, pain and loss do. To him, the banker's reality is folly. To the banker, the Brahma's ideas are as inconsequential as dust.

• No es que Cristo sea superior a Alá, no es que Alá lo sea todo y Brahma nada, sino que es el mismo a quien llamas Brahma o Alá, o Todopoderoso, o con otros cien nombres. Los nombres son diferentes pero Dios es uno y el mismo.

• One who has self-esteem esteems oneself because one knows the value of one's being as a singular yet universal expression of the highest value in the Kosmos-the Universal Self, also known as God, Kami, or Brahma, or by many other names.

• Al final, lo que marca la diferencia no es otra cosa que la bondad amorosa con la que la mujer cuida de su hijo. Su preocupación se concentra en una sola cosa, igual que la práctica budista de la concentración. No piensa en nada más que en su hijo, lo que es similar a la compasión budista. Esa debe ser la razón por la que, a pesar de no haber creado ninguna otra causa que lo provocara, renació en el cielo de Brahma.

• It doesn't matter whether you believe in Christ, Moses, Allah, Brahma, Buddha, or any other being or master. Each one of us has our own beliefs, our own point of view. There are billions of different points of view, but it's the same force of life behind each one of us.

• Shankara commented on Krishna, on the Upanishads, on the Brahma Sutras. Ramanuja commented on the ancient enlightened people, Vallabha did the same. It has always been so in the East, because much dust gathers as time passes. Now, the Upanishads were written in a totally different world. That man has disappeared, that mind has disappeared, that world no more exists.

• I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance.

• ¿Nunca teme el juicio de Dios al negarle? Desde luego que no. También niego a Zeus, Júpiter, Odín y Brahma, pero eso no me causa ningún escrúpulo. Observo que una parte muy grande de la raza humana no cree en Dios y no sufre ningún castigo visible en consecuencia. Y si hubiera un Dios, me parece muy improbable que tuviera una vanidad tan intranquila como para ofenderse por quienes dudan de su existencia.
