primordial QUOTES

41 " Our view of man will remain superficial so long as we fail to go back to that origin [of silence], so long as we fail to find, beneath the chatter of words, the primordial silence, and as long as we do not describe the action which breaks this silence. the spoken word is a gesture, and its meaning, a world. "

― Maurice Merleau-Ponty , Phenomenology of Perception

43 " जयति महाकाली जयति, आद्य काली माता
जय कराला वदने जयति, जगाता मातु विख्याता

The primordial source of all beings - Victory!
The formidable-looking goddess - To you Victory,
Renowned as the mother of the world - Victory! "

― Munindra Misra , Chants of Hindu Gods and Godesses in English Rhyme

To Glorious Wisdom of Love

47 " What I want is to live of that initial and primordial something that was what made some things reach the point of aspiring to be human. "

49 " On a cooler sun on a primordial earth: " I later learned that biologists, when they are feeling jocose, refer to this as the 'Chinese Resaturant Problem'--because we has a dim sun. "

51 " As we stand before this sacred doorway [the doorway to meaning], we realize its response to us is conditional, albeit only in the sense that it’s reflective. If we stand before it arrogant and haughty, indeed the door will remained locked. If we stand before it in doubt, it will disappear. If we knock upon it distracted, our minds somewhere else, we fail to see it open. Anyone in the world can go through it, and there could never be a key. Yet it opens only when we approach it in a certain, truthful way. Otherwise, we may not notice its openness and its infinite offering again and again.

To pass into this fertile land of meaning, we must arrive in reverence. We must approach the door in silence, focused upon the primordial pulse of our beings and all of life. We must allow ourselves to open into acceptance, for within acceptance lives our accountability and, therefore, our ability to extract meaning for our growth—and the possibility for things to come to life. We must allow ourselves to be released into the current, the movement of acceptance, otherwise known as surrender, so that we may be taken and discovered unto ourselves. And once we are through, by God, we must celebrate, for what else is there to do? "

53 " In normal everyday usage, " I" embodies the primordial error, a misperception of who you are, an illusory sense of identity. This is the ego. The illusory sense of self is what Albert Einstein, who had deep insights not only into the reality of space an time, but also into human nature, referred to as " an optical illusion of consciousness. "

55 " In the absence of self-control, this primordial nature of the limbic brain often compels the mind to give in to evils of corruption. "

― Abhijit Naskar , The Education Decree

57 " The language of the universe comes not from the voice but from the primordial silence. You can understand it by enhancing your feelings. "

― Debasish Mridha
