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 105 - Folly Absurdity and Wisdom

Before we get to this week’s quote, I wanted to share with you the following from the Reb Zalman Legacy Project. This is a wonderful little video of a dialogue between two beautiful spiritual teachers who have enriched our lives, whether we know it or not:

“For those who have not had the opportunity to see the wonderful documentary by Edis Jurcys and Cathy Zheutlin, The Kiss of God: A Dialogue of Devoutness Between father Thomas Keating and Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi, you can now view it for free on JTN (Jewish Television Network) on-line. Just go to:

http://www.jewishtvnetwork.com and search “Zalman” and “The Kiss of God” will come up in the search results. Simply select it and watch.”


And now for the Quote of the Week:

There is an excellence or profit to wisdom from folly itself, for if there were no folly, wisdom and its words would not be recognized.

--Zohar, Vol. C, folio 47b, Soncino translation

There is no better handle on wisdom than absurdity; and if not for the absurd, wisdom would remain obscured.

--same as above, translated by Rabbi Gershon Winkler
