Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.

If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?

Many things in your life matter, but only one thing matters absolutely.. It is finding the essence of who you are.

Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware.
