Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.


Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.  Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.


Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field, I will meet you there.


You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life.


I looked in temples, churches, and mosques.  But I found the Divine within my heart.


Mystics teach simple things but those simple thing change lives.
