None but ourselves can free our minds.
-Bob Marley
Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm.
-Thomas Merton
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
There’s nothing more advanced than relating with others. There’s nothing more advanced than communication – compassionate communication.
Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
