It's very hard to grow, because it's difficult to let go of the models of ourselves in which we've invested so heavily.
Ram DassIf you could stand back far enough and watch the whole process you'd see you are a totally determined being.
Ram DassThis is the pathless path - returning to where you were initially before you got lost. The deepest truth in you is where the journey leads - shedding, like taking off layers of an onion, until you come to your essence. The key to the spiritual journey is not acquiring something outside of yourself. Rather it is shedding the veils to come back to the deepest truth of your being.
