Quote by Alexander Maclaren

Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.

Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vest

Summary

This quote suggests that death should not be viewed as an endpoint, but rather as a transition or entrance into something else. It emphasizes that death is not a permanent dwelling place, but a temporary space leading to another realm or state. The mention of a door on the inner side of the grave implies the possibility of what lies beyond death, inviting speculation on what may exist beyond our limited understanding of mortality. Overall, the quote offers a perspective that death is merely a gateway and that there may be more to discover beyond it.

All that is limited by form, semblance, sound, color is call

All that is limited by form, semblance, sound, color is called object. Among them all, man alone is more than an object. Though, like objects, he has form and semblance, He is not limited to form. He is more. He can attain to formlessness. When he is beyond form and semblance, beyond this and that, where is the comparison with another object? Where is the conflict? What can stand in his way? He will rest in his eternal place which is no-place. He will be hidden in his own unfathomable secret. His nature sinks to its root in the One. His vitality, his power hide in secret Tao.
