Gazing into the Eternal: Reflections upon a Deeper Purpose to Living

To live without love for others is to live in aridity, to be self-serving and fruitless. To live without understanding is to live without sense or purpose. To live without awareness is to live as the deaf, blind and dumb in a world of vibrant light and sound.

There is far more spiritual potential within than most people realize. The potential is so great that to define it in words would be impossible.

To bring about the new takes not just a development of the old, but a radical leap forward - revolutionary and transforming - and that requires extra factors that were not present before.

Whoever does decide to awaken should put their whole effort, attention, and life into it, in order to make it succeed.

Whoever has hatred toward someone is that hatred.

Being in the present moment, one can step outside the mechanical train of life, and this is where the inner revolution begins.

The spirit is beyond pleasure and pain; it’s outside them. They are swings of opposites. The spiritual is in the here and now. It’s not pleasure nor is it pain. It is its own substance, its own kind.

Wisdom is not increased by acquiring more information, but by increasing the capacity of seeing.

Awareness is not an idea about awareness, as it is not thought at all. Awareness allows you to feel life as it's happening, as it is in perception that consciousness and all spiritual qualities are manifest.

The spiritual work builds upon awareness, increases consciousness, transforms it, merges it with the divine, and this is how to reach true spirituality in life.
