Sacred Space: Ode to the Sun

Bliss, knowledge and wisdom are Sun himself. I bow to Mitra, Bhanu, to the shining one, the cause of the universe and let Him protect me from death.

Atharva Veda

He who is in the fire, and he who is here in the heart, and he who is yonder in the sun - he is One.

Maitri Upanishad

Even after all this time

The sun never says to the

earth, "You owe Me".

Look what happens with

A love like that,

It lights the Whole Sky.

Hafiz

The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.

R W Emerson

Darkness no longer exists when the sun has risen. Similarly, when one has tasted undifferentiated bliss, no bondage or trace of suffering remains.

Adi Shankara

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.

Napoleon Bonaparte
