The departure from the world is regarded not as a fault, but as the first step into that noble path at the remotest turn of which illumination is to be won.

I think what we lack isn't science, but poetry that reveals what the heart is ready to recognize

We are having experiences all the time which may on occasion render some sense of this, a little intuition of where your bliss is. Grab it. No one can tell you what it is going to be. You have to learn to recognize your own depth.

We have to permit go with the everyday living we had prepared so as to have the lifetime that's watching for us

Anyone who has had an experience of mystery knows that there is a dimension of the universe that is not that which is available to his senses. There is a pertinent saying in one of the Upanishads: When before the beauty of a sunset or of a mountain you pause and exclaim, ‘Ah,’ you are participating in divinity. Such a moment of participation involves a realization of the wonder and sheer beauty of existence. People living in the world of nature experience such moments every day. They live in the recognition of something there that is much greater than the human dimension.

Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.

We are the consciousness of the earth. We are the eyes of the earth. The voice of the earth.
