Quotations
Self - Discovery
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.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
-Michelangelo
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.

Better to start up a thousand wrong roads than to spend your life going nowhere because you know the way.
-Robert Brault
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.
-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
