“Why do you so earnestly seek the truth in distant places?Look for delusion and truth in thebottom of your own heart.”

“The possibility of truth has become a delusion to those who made their own disguise the truth.”

“The truth. Why are we so obsessed with the truth—begging for it, asking for it, demanding it, when all we really want to do is confirm our own vision of reality?”

“A teacher cannot give you the truth The truth is already in you You only need to open yourself –body, mind and heart-so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenmentIf you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work”

“A writer paradoxically seeks the truth and tells lies every step of the way. It's a lie if you make something up. But you make it up in the name of the truth, and then you give your heart to expressing it clearly.”

“I do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand so that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand. For I believe this also, that “unless I believe, I shall not understand.”
