“Within what is allotted to us, we can have spiritual contentment.”

“It is left to each of us to balance contentment regarding what God has allotted to us in life with some divine discontent resulting from what we are in comparison to what we have the power to become.”

“...We're allotted a little space on earth and that we survive in that wilderness that can take back what it has given, as easily as blowing its breath on us or sending the sea to tell us we are not so big. When we forget how close the wilderness is in the night, my grandpa said, someday it will come in and get us, for we will have forgotten how terrible and real it can be.”

“We take spiritual initiation when we become conscious of the Divine within us, and thereby contact the Divine without us.”

“We can hear the silent voice of the spiritual universe within our own hearts.”

“The truth of life is that Brahman is no different from atman, the spiritual force within us, what you might call the soul.”
