NATURE

And Jesus answered: "I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men. In everything that is life is the law written. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountains, in the birds of the heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture...God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit."
- Edmund Bordeaux Szekely, The Essene Gospel of Peace: Book 1 (Essene Gospel of Peace)

With the mountains, with the stone
Will I call Thee, Lord, o Lord!
With the birds in the early dawn
Will I call thee, Lord, o Lord!
With the fishes in the sea,
With gazelles in deserts free,
With the mystic's call "Oh He!"
Will I call Thee, Lord, o Lord!
- Yunus Emre, quoted in Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters p.76

Live as the flowers live, opening your heart to the sunlight of God's love.
- White Eagle, quoted in The Quiet Mind
