This blog would just consists of one liner quotes which have a spiritual dimension to them. It would basically be a compilation of ONE LINERS which have impacted me significantly and most of them would be life oriented, spiritual yet not religious.
You can look up Sheet 1 here. Will start this one of with one picked up from a friends status message and it comes from one of greatest Indian sain Swami Vivekananda.
The idea of a supernatural being may rouse to a certain extent the power of action in us, but it also brings spiritual decay. It brings dependence; it brings fear; it brings superstition. It degenerates into a horrible belief in the natural weakness of human beings.:- Swami Vivekananda
"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." Lao Tzu

Some these quotes describe my basic philosophy of life and I hope you like them as much as I have. The first one I heard in a movie (Surprised!) and has stuck in my mind from then on so much so I sign off my mails with it. So putting it right on top. So here goes, hopefully a start of something big
"Don't take life too seriously you will never get out of it alive anyways" - Source Not Known to me
"Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional" - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"Worry is like rocking chair. It keeps you busy but take you no where" - Swami Sukhbodhanad
"Karma is an impression in the mind" - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Explanation in another post)
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Albert Einstein. My spiritual twist - Changing the object of desiring is not going to bring happiness, address the root process of desiring itself.
"See the past as destiny, future as free will & be happy in the present" - Sri Sri
"What you accumulate can be your but can never be you" - Sadhguru on identification to Body n Mind
"Aapke to good bhi not to bad se start hota hai" - Line from movie Chollo Dilli. Liked the line cause it shows how much ones mind hankers on the negative
"Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." Guillaume Apollinaire
"You only lose what you cling to." - Buddha. WOW WOW WOW!!!!
"Spirituality is not about becoming a super human, It is about realizing being human is super" Sadhguru
