More on Seeking
“If we are not totally blind, what we are seeking is already here. This is it.”
“The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.”
“It will not be held against you that you are ignorant against your will, but that you neglect to seek out what it is that makes you ignorant; not that you cannot bring together your wounded limbs, but that you reject Him that would heal them.”
More on Inner Self
“The outward is only the outside of that which is within. Men are not concealed under habits, but are revealed by them; they are their true clothes.”
“Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.”
“We are hidden in ourselves, like a truth hidden in isolated facts. When we know that this One in us is One in all, then our truth is revealed.”
