Wise quotes from Oma Desala


The Universe is vast and we are small. There is really only one thing we can ever truly control...whether we are good or evil.


Though the river tells no lies, the dishonest standing on the shore, still hears them.


The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.


You cannot tell the depth of the river, until you see the bottom.


The true nature of a man is decided in the battle between his conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious.


The evil within is too strong to defeat, the only way to win is to deny it battle.

  2. Hey, im a huge Stargate Sg-1 fan and i was just wondering, are these quotes from the actual Buddhism, Hinduism, and Janism religions? Or did the writers of the show create them????

  3. @Cove: Many of these are actual quotes from many real religions, like Zen Buddhism. The monk on Keb really is speaking in Zen Koans, time honored meditations full of meaning for those who meditate on them. Some while made up for the show, are still the same as similar things said in actual religions, so the flavor, the meaning, remains just as true.

    "Let there be no distance between you and where you are" is something similar to what the monk on Keb said, but means the same thing. It's deep and full of meaning, more than just a way to tell Jack to take off his shoes. :)

    And me, I am a member of the Oma De Sala fan club, have spent a lifetime studying theology, and a practicing, living, Buddhist. My Doctoral dissertation at University was "Why God needs us more than we need him." I defended it sucessfully and got my Ph.D.

    I'm also like Daniel, just can't stay dead for long. Been ascended, will do it again one day, but will deal with it differently than the last time I was ascended. Deal with THEM differently.

    "All roads lead to the great path, many cross."
