Don't run away from grief , o soul
Look for the remedy inside the pain.
because the rose came from the thorn
and the ruby came from a stone.

~ Rumi

"The Guru is within you, not here. Guru is not outside. Guru awakens that knowledge that is within you."

~ Swami Vishnudevananda

“Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to. ”

~ Sogyal Rinpoche

“As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving; you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.”

~ Ram Dass
