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 358 - Secrets to Success

Q: I heard all successful people meditate and read. How much do you meditate and read on a weekly basis?

A: I meditate 20 minutes a day, and I suggest you do the same. I don’t time myself when I read, but if I can get two hours in, that’s a good day.

Quote of the Week 357 - Another Train

Another Train
Music and Lyrics by Pete Morton

The beginning is now
And will always be
You say you’ve lost your chance
That fate brought you defeat
But that means nothing
You look so sad
You've been listening to those
Who say you’ve missed your chance

There's another train
There always is
Maybe the next one is yours
Get up and climb aboard
Another train

You feel you’re done
There's no such thing
Although you’re standing on your own
Your own breath is king
The beginning is now
Don't turn around
Regrets about mistakes
Will only drain you

We crawl in the dark sometimes
And think too much
Then we fill our heads with crazy things
That only break our hearts
And I know you've seen
What the earth can do
When it's dragging down another load
Of worrisome fools

I know it's hard
When you feel confused
You can cram yourself with fear
And you you feel you cannot move
You’re building worlds
That don't exist
Imagination plays
The worst tricks

There's another train
There always is
Maybe the next one is yours
Get up and climb aboard…
