I'm not really on a mission to tell anybody anything. I'd rather be figured out.
Seek for illumination of self, and then the world, through the simple, humble, almighty, supreme virtue of love.
If you cannot find the truth within yourself, where else do you expect to find it?
Religions are the training wheels of self enlightenment. They can be helpful in the beginning but at some point they must be let go.
One may speak about anything on earth with fire, with enthusiasm, with ecstasy, but one only speaks about oneself with avidity.
Do not know yourself. I want to continue to surprise me.
Your task? To work with all the passion of your being to acquire an inner light.
The principal thing in this world is to keep one's soul aloft.
I have always written only for myself - to clarify things, to clarify things with myself, to understand in an inner way what is actually happening.
I think that the journey of self to truth is always kind of a gnarly one.
Questions are a burden to others; answers are a prison for oneself.
My nature is... well... I'm a searcher by nature. I'm constantly searching for something; that's why I have a song called 'Looking for Something.' How do I do it? I read a lot of spiritual books; I meditate.
It will not be held against you that you are ignorant against your will, but that you neglect to seek out what it is that makes you ignorant; not that you cannot bring together your wounded limbs, but that you reject Him that would heal them.
When you're enlightened, you don't have to reference other people, because you yourself are enlightened. And that's a better Earth. People can make more informed decisions politically, culturally, personally.
Instead of old spiritual distinctions you have new spiritual distinctions, instead of old worships you have new worships. You are all depending for your spirituality on someone else, for your happiness on someone else, for your enlightenment on someone else.
Transform reason into ordered intuition; let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.
The pride of learning is against the dependent humility of prayer.
