The spiritual quest is a journey without distance. You travel from where you are right now To where you have always been. From ignorance to recognition.
Anthony de MelloSinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it.
Anthony de MelloThe disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-Tzu's dictum: "Those who know, do not say; Those who say, do not know." When the master entered, they asked him what the words meant. Said the master, "Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?" All of them indicated that they knew. Then he said, "Put it into words." All of them were silent.
