By self-study, by observing, by being hollow and empty, you become a channel - you become a part of the Divine. You are able to feel the presence of Divinity. All the different angels and devas, all these different forms of our consciousness, start blossoming.
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
-Michelangelo
Man can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can starve from a lack of bread.

"Native Son"
Better to start up a thousand wrong roads than to spend your life going nowhere because you know the way.
-Robert Brault
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
-Josephine Hart
But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"Notes from the Underground"
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else. The Bible says, “Seek that kingdom within you.” Once you have found that, then everything else will be automatically added unto you; you don’t have to go looking for things outside; they will all come to you.
In the end you don't so much find yourself as you find someone who knows who you are.
-Robert Brault
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
-Alexis Carrel
You necessarily have to be lost, before you’re found.
-T. Scott McLeod
