We are not human beings
on a spiritual journey.
We are spiritual beings
on a human journey.
Any life, no matter how long
and complex it may be,
is made up of a single moment
— the moment in which a man finds out,
once and for all,
who he is.
When one realizes one is asleep,
at that moment one is already half-awake.
The golden opportunity
you are seeking is in yourself.
It is not in your environment;
it is not in luck or chance,
or the help of others;
it is in yourself alone.
When the student is ready…
the lesson appears.
Let him that would move the world
first move himself.
What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared
to what lies within us.
To find yourself,
think for yourself.
