Torah-Veda

An Interspiritual Journey
Find Your Inspiration and Follow It

WELCOME TO TORAH-VEDA

Torah and Veda are two ancient sources of spirituality still vibrant today. Torah is conveyed through the sacred language of Hebrew and Veda is conveyed through the sacred language of Sanskrit. The focus here is on meditation, mysticism, philosophy, psychology and the underlying spirituality that has been incorporated into religions, and not as much on the religions themselves. Your comments and posts are welcome.

Quote of the Week 419 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance


Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…


--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

Quote of the Week 60 - Appreciate Life, Imageless Prayer

Once you have decided to begin the spiritual path, a good way to get started is in prayer, and a good beginning in prayer is to try to walk around appreciating Life itself. Not any particular of Life, just Life itself. And try to Feel that appreciation, not simply Think about it. Try to Feel grateful for Life.

When one is truly worshipping God, he has no image in his mind. True worship of God is without any picture in the mind or notions in mind about the appearance or nature of God. To truly worship God without images is the Esoteric meaning behind the command – “though shalt have no other images before me.” God is an imageless prayer for man.

Quotes of the Week 59 - Lamentations

From Lamentations:

God’s kindness surely has not ended, nor are His mercies exhausted. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “God is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I have hope in Him.” God is good to those who trust in Him; to the soul that seeks Him. It is good to hope silently for God’s salvation. It is good for a man that he bear a yoke in his youth. Let one sit in solitude and be submissive, for He has laid it upon him. Let him put his mouth to the dust – there may yet be hope. 3:22-29

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that evil and good emanate? Of what shall a living man complain? A man for his sins! Let us search and examine our ways and return to God. Let us lift our hearts with our hands to God in heaven. 3:38-41

Quotes of the Week 58 - What is Inside

The teacher inside you, according to the sages, is your own conscience.

There is something inside you that will tell you the truth always.

We should find our conscience and follow it, not compromise with it or ignore it in favor of expediency, temporary comfort, or greed.

All beings are only one heart;
Outside this heart there are no beings.

What you are looking for is what is looking.

Love never deserts anyone. It is we who desert Love.
