This session was particularly challenging as participants were asked to go deep into the quotes through the process of questions. The process of the SIP Jam 5 was to read the quotes and select one that called out to them. Participants were then asked to identify a sentence from their selected quote and create a question from what was said in that sentence. They were then asked to find an answer from the question. They went on to answer the question they asked themselves another 2 times and watch how their understanding of the question and answer transformed.
The conversation then moved on to understand how going deeper through the process of inquiry can enable us to deepen our understanding our own purpose and the purpose of our work.
Quotations
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man does not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself... All things are connected.
(Attributed to Chief Seattle of the Duwamish Tribe)
To obtain spirituality is to realise that the whole universe is one symphony; in this every individual is one note, and his happiness lies in becoming perfectly attuned to the harmony of the universe.
(Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi writer and musician)
Everything you see has its roots in an unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wondrous sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade. But do not be disheartened, the Source they come from is eternal - growing, branching out, giving new life and new joy.
(Rumi, A Garden Beyond Paradise)
A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The illusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal closeness and affection for only the few people nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature.
(Albert Einstein)
He who sees himself in all beings and all beings in himself knows no sorrow.
(Isha Upanishad)
