The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
Khalil Gibran (via samsaranmusing)
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear. Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
So the universe is not quite as you thought it was.
You’d better rearrange your beliefs, then. Because you certainly can’t rearrange the universe.

So let’s talk about you. What are you going to do about all this? You hear the words. They hit a nerve in some people, and some people will begin their training within themselves. Others will go to another teacher next Thursday, next Wednesday, and see what that teacher has to offer. Others will read another book and add it to their collection. Others will say “Teacher so and so is going to be in Hawaii next week. I’m flying out to see them.” And this will continue incarnation after incarnation, after incarnation.
Everything you want is within yourself. Your true teacher is the self. And where else can the self be except within yourself. You are that. Stop searching. Start doing, and become that.
There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.

The truth is, everything will be okay as soon as you are okay with everything. And that’s the only time everything will be okay.

What
Do sad people have in
Common?
It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.
What is the beginning of
Happiness?
It is to stop being
So religious
Like That.
What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.
Will you tolerate
the strangeness inside of me,
the quirks of my soul?
Be patient with yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Know that all things are working in your favor. If you take one step toward the light of Spirit, Spirit will take five steps on your behalf.
