| | Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Saints are believed to have a power of intercession with God (Allah), and thus the ability to perform miracles and to give power or blessings known as baraka. | | | In Santería, saints are syncretised with Yoruban deities, and are equally worshipped in churches (where they appear as saints) and in Santería religious festivities, where they appear as deities (orishas); however, this practice is condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. | | | The saints are seen as models of holiness to be imitated, and as a 'cloud of witnesses' that strengthen and encourage the believer during his or her spiritual journey (Hebrews 12:1). |

| | Foreword to Sharing the Quest |
| | In my own researches, I found that the scriptures of most ‘popular’ religions of the world, whilst being worthy in their own way, were unsatisfying, as they all danced around the spiritual life on a relatively superficial level, suitable mainly for the masses of mankind. | | | Although I may have been given initiation as a Hindu monk in India, and endowed with a title and the saffron robe, to consider myself as a ‘swami’ (being equivalent to an ordained ‘priest’ of an established order) would be too confining for my freedom of growth. | | | Eventually I found it was only the Hindu and Buddhist teachings which really explored in depth every aspect of the spiritual path and showed the way—all the way—to the Source: or at least, as close to arrival as any text can show. |

| | Avidyamaya and Vidyamaya - Psychology Central |
| | Avidyamaya and Vidyamaya are concepts created by the Hindu sage Ramakrishna based on his realizations. | | | However, the embracing and realization of some concepts that are not sensual (i.e., of the senses), such as love, generosity, spirituality, all of them vidyamaya, take us further away from sticking to what we see, touch, smell, hear, taste. | | | According to his hindu school of thought, as one cannot trust one's eyes before a trained magician, also the human five senses draw and drag us further into illusions and false conclusions. |
