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 164 - The Approach to the Divine Mother

Much has been written about the Mother of the Universe, but it boils down to this. You need her more than she needs you. In fact, your life is totally dependent upon her, and in some sense, she could care less about you. But at the same time, she loves you as deeply and purely as love is possible, so deeply and purely that she will dissolve all of your self-limitations. She is as devoted to your liberation as much as she is devoted to nurturing you, because she yearns for your return to the Father as much as she yearns for her return. And in some sense, she can’t complete her return until you complete your return, one way or another. The approach to the Divine Mother should be in an attitude of giving and tenderness, nothing more. No attempts at establishing relationships, fulfilling needs, or fitting in pieces of a puzzle. That is all wrong. The proper approach is beyond all that. Just give with tenderness and don’t look for anything. That is all.

--Steven J. Gold
