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 389 - The Abyss and the Price for Reality


Quote of the Week 389 - The Abyss and the Price for Reality

I wanted reality, at any price, and I paid for it dearly. I went right down through the length and breadth of the abyss. There is nothing but pain down there, yet I am glad that I had that kind of courage and enough strength to come up – scarred, yes, but still clean, still warm, a bit singed, but now I float a lot. I rest that way and go farther. Also, I sing more often a joyous song, a soulful hymn to life. Never do I trouble the Master with special requests. And you, whoever and wherever you are, my friend, do not envy me. We must all pay the price. There is no other road to peace of mind. I did not look for shortcuts, nor did I travel on God-forsaken trails on which pleasure-seekers wander. All of them find sorrow, but no serenity. Also, what I found down there was that the roots of reality may not appear beautiful, but without the roots, there would be no trees, no grass, not even weeds.
