I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
He who looks without, dreams; he who looks within, awakes.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Learn to be quiet enough to hear the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others.
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
I am blind and limited. I would be a fool think myself wise. And so, not knowing what the universe means, I can only try to be responsible with the knowledge, the strength, and the time given to me. I must be true to my heart.
He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.
One who understands the relationships between the human heart and the human mind will always out-hack those who chase after an ever-changing technology.
Mysticism requires the notion of the unknowable, which is revealed to some and withheld from others; this divides men into those who feel guilt and those who cash in on it.
There is no one who can give you wiser advice than you can give yourself: you will never make a slip, if you listen to your own heart.
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
The Rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men.
We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
God is within you. You yourself are your creator. If you find that place in yourself from which you brought this thing about, you will be able to live with it and affirm it, perhaps even enjoy it, as your life.
Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being.
I do not communicate by words alone. In fact, rarely do I do so. My most common form of communication is through feeling. Feeling is the language of the soul. If you want to know what's true for you about something, look to how you're feeling about it... Hidden in your deepest feelings is your highest truth.
The very best and noblest attainment in this life is to be silent and let God work and speak within. Therefore it is said: 'In the midst of silence the secret word was spoken to me'.
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
Inspiration is God making contact with itself.
