LaoziWhat interest, zest, or excitement can there be in achieving the right way, unless we are enabled to feel that the wrong way is also a possible and a natural way, nay, more, a menacing and an imminent way?

We have to remember that maintaining our ethical and spiritual selves is absolutely linked with achieving the degree of success we're working toward.
Marianne WilliamsonThe Shah regarded politics as the province of demagoguery, an art in which only charlatans could excel.

Miranda LeekIt is false to speak of realization. What is there to realize? The real is as it is always. We are not creating anything new or achieving something which we did not have before. The illustration given in books is this. We dig a well and create a huge pit. The space in the pit or well has not been created by us. We have just removed the earth which was filling the space there. The space was there then and is also there now. Similarly we have simply to throw out all the age-long sanskaras [innate tendencies] which are inside us. When all of them have been given up, the Self will shine alone.
