Even though I have a long way to go,
let me put remorse away,
step by step in precious patience.
Even though I reach for the Milky Way,
and not succeed,
let me put away a remorse that is beyond knowledge.
Again, let my hands and feet return to work.
Even if it is a lonely trail,
the earth and the sky are looking after me.
From the start, leaving behind the habit of resting on
someone,
let me walk like a herd boy climbing the mountains.

Your task is not to seek love,
but merely seek and find all the barriers within
yourself
you have built against it.

Learn to look without imagination, to listen
without distortion: that is all. Stop attributing
names and shapes to the essentially nameless
and formless, realize that every mode of perception
is subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched
or smelt, felt or thought, expected or imagined, is
in the mind and not in reality, and you will
experience peace and freedom from fear.

If a man's mind becomes pure,
his surroundings will also become pure.

There is a light that shines beyond all things on
earth,
beyond us all, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest,
the very highest heavens.
This is the Light that shines in our heart.

The very best and utmost of attainment in this life is
TO REMAIN STILL and let God act and speak in thee.

Come home yourself!
Come back to your senses! Do you hear that bird sing?
How can you hear the song and not hear the singer?
How can you see the wave and not see the ocean?
How can you see the dance and not see the dancer?
- Anthony DeMello
