“Within us lies the unlimited power and energy of the empowered soul. Its rich qualities include wisdom, fearlessness, immortality, unconditional love, connectedness, and bliss.”
“If we value the freedom of the soul, we must be sensual.”
“Your hungry mind has become the gatekeeper of your soul. Everything I bring for your soul gets consumed by your mind. How long will I keep doing the crime of feeding your mind?”
“Babies do not have both feet squarely on Earth. They float between the worlds, not being able to clearly distinguish them. As they grow, they must become firmly established as Earth dwellers. Their memory of other worlds fades and disappears. They learn how to be human before they can, one day, recall their spiritual heritage.”
“When you have a castle within, you don’t need one outside. I prefer to keep things simple.”
“Life is meant for attaining self-knowledge in God-realization; He who does not know himself is ignorant and his life is in vain.”
“To soothe, To share, To sympathize That is all the soul desires .”
“This wasn’t just lust or infatuation, this was intoxication, a craven’s craving I could not explain. But then, what was love but a want of the flesh, or a want of the soul. I wanted this man. I couldn’t not want him. I couldn’t not breathe. I wanted him in a way that was so absolute I couldn’t care if he didn’t want me back the same way.”
“When we understand our oneness with God, we are able to heal spiritually because we know that in divine Reality there is no human concept of anything or anybody to fix up. The more clearly we realise this, the more the human scene becomes subservient and harmonious. It falls into line with the overriding power and completeness of the infinite All.”
“Our soul is like a garden in which the weeds are ever ready to choke the good plants and flowers that have been sown in it. If the gardener who has charge of this garden neglects it, if he is not continually using the spade and the hoe, the flowers and plants will soon disappear.”
“Our soul s spiritual force propels us from the physical world into the Beyond.”
“One Day is equal to One Life at the level of higher consciousness.”
“The one who performs his duty with the right knowledge and devotion attains God with higher consciousness.”
“No relationship is by accident; especially our most bonded relationships. Chance plays no role in the unfolding of our lives. Every relationship automatically pushes towards its own evolution. Each carries its own lessons and purpose. None will fail to fulfil their healing function. It may seem that they can fail and, sometimes, fail abysmally. However, healing is inevitable and simply a matter of time. From the perspective of the Divine, time is insubstantial and so healing is already present, even if not already obvious.”
“I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me.”
“If you wish your soul to prosper, pray.”
“Outside . . . the street . . . the city . . . the darkness! O how the night was with me, taunting the rolls of thought that cuddled my brain. My memory like an old piano roll . . . four hot hands at the keys . . . wobbly fingers in my mind . . . my whole life ragtime in broken shoes . . . tiny mallets striking the strings of my soul . . . Ah, Tim, I tell you there s a tune left in the old box yet.”
