Torah-Veda

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

Quotes of the Week 133 - Wisdom, Virtue, Change or Perish

Wisdom has been defined as knowing what one ought to do. Virtue is doing it. Wisdom without virtue is a weariness of the flesh…Where thought does not go over into action, there results mental dyspepsia or moral constipation. Men of mere ideas and no legs are no more than intellectual centipedes.

The power of safe and accurate response to external conditions is the essential feature of sanity. The inability to adapt action to need is a character of insanity. “Change or perish” is the grim watchword of nature. Keep pace with the advancing times and you can survive in the struggle of life.

--Swami Rama Tirtha

[Please note: I hope you don’t mind a heavy dose of Swami Rama Tirtha for the next several weeks. I am finishing up a book of his, The Practical Vedanta of Swami Rama Tirtha, Edited by Brandt Dayton, and it is getting better the deeper I go. These are all from that book, which has been out of print for several years, so you’re not likely to easily come across this material elsewhere]

I realize that I didn’t have a quote last week, so I will make it up with two quotes this week.
