„Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand, and becoming comfortable with not knowing.“

„II. 54: When consciousness interiorizes by uncoupling from external objects, the senses do likewise; this is called withdrawal of the senses.“

„I. 4: Otherwise, awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness.“

„II. 20: Pure awareness is just seeing, itself; although pure, it usually appears to operate through the perceiving mind.“

“IV. 23: Then, consciousness can be colored by both pure awareness and the phenomenal world, thereby fulfilling all its purposes.

“IV. 34: Freedom is at hand when the fundamental qualities of nature, each of their transformations witnessed at the moment of its inception, are recognized as irrelevant to pure awareness; it stands alone, grounded in its very nature, the power of pure seeing. That is all.”

– Patanjali

The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.

– Osho

There was a time I would reject those who were not of my faith.

But now, my heart has grown capable of taking on all forms.

It is a pasture for gazelles,
An abbey for monks.
A table for the Torah,
A temple for the idols Kaaba for the pilgrim.

My religion is love.

Whichever the route love’s caravan shall take,
That shall be the path of my faith.
