Spiritual Quotes About Dying
| When we peruse spiritual quotes about dying, we have the opportunity to try on a more expanded perspective of dying and explore its effect on our well being. |
Death | Life | Forgiveness | Comfort | Rest in Peace | Grief and Loss
Gratitude | Tears | Fear | Choices | Irreverent
When we want to reach out to the perceptions about death and dying which are the most expanded. Which offer us the brightest glimpses of the light always present even around such a dark subject. Which can take us by the hand and offer us vistas beyond what we mostly think and feel about dying.Then spiritual quotes can give us these expanded glimpses. Glimpses into a parallel universe so full of light and ease and joy. Glimpses into a world so strange and yet so familiar. Glimpses into a realm full of haunting melodies from far away but yet so close. The issuers of these spiritual quotations must be steeped in some deep deep form of belief to sound so convincing. A belief so rich that it invites us readers into a state of grace while contemplating dying and all its ramifications. A belief so sound that it can carry us at least to death's threshold without needing to look back anxiously. These spiritual quotes are helping us hold our heads high and ready to actually experience the mystery of dying. The mystery of letting go. The mystery of going home.

The thought of death leaves me in perfect peace,
for I have a firm conviction that our spirit
is a being of indestructible nature;
it works on from eternity to eternity,
it is like the sun, which though
it seems to set to our mortal eyes,
does not really set, but shines on perpetually. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - |

and we know no death. - Tom Wolfe - |

It is clear to me as daylight
that life and death are
but phases of the same thing,
the reverse and obverse of the same coin. In fact tribulation and death

a phase far richer
than happiness or life... Death is as necessary
for a mans growth as life itself. - Mahatma Gandhi - |
Men who have seen life and death...
as an unbroken continuum,
the swinging pendulum,
have been able to move as freely into death
as they walked through life.

or trans-personal terms,
whether it is Heaven or Nirvana or
Happy Hunting Ground or

that death is just an alteration
in our state of consciousness,
and that the quality of our
continued existence in the afterlife
depends on the quality
of our living here and now. - John Smith - |
Birth is not the beginning,
Death is not the end. - Chuang Tsu - |

but we are given the ability
to see beyond the body and
to realize that we are not tied to it forever. - Anonymous - |

for I am indestructible consciousness. - Paramahansa Yogananda - |

the spirit shall cease to be never;
Never was time it was not;

changeless remaineth the spirit forever.
Death hath not touched it all,
dead though the house of it seems! - Sir Edwin Arnold - |

when the dawn will come
I open every door. - Emily Dickinson - |

which we cannot see and know,
yet which certainly exist.

vast enough to include immortality....

immortality is an inner certainty. - Manly P. Hall - |

what you were before your birth.- Arthur Schopenhauer - |

and all other sentient beings are dying with us,

of each moment and each being,

clear, limitless compassion for all beings.- Sogyal Rinpoche - |
The disembodied soul
does not part with Nature
when it leaves the earth;
life but, rather,
it rises to a plane of Nature
which is fuller, richer
and sweeter in every way
than the best of which
the earth dwelling soul dreams. The dross of materiality burned away
by the astral vibrations,
the soul blossoms and
bears spiritual fruit in the new life. - Yogi Ramacharaka - |

which we call death
releases the consciousness within
for the new adventure
of building other forms
for further growth. - Joy Mills - |

two important consequences:

from the fear of death and
influences the actual experience of dying
at the time of biological demise.- Stanislav Grof - |

but the real Sufis just laugh:
nothing tyrannizes their hearts.
What strikes the oyster shell
does not damage the pearl.- Rumi - |
