enlightenment

Few ever found enlightenment in haste, and nobody will ever discover it in gibberish

The purpose of life is the lesson.

Learning and knowing something is cool, but superb knowledge comes when you leave your books and become the inner world's friend.

A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.

Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky you can see the stars and still not see the light.

We unthinkingly build the pilings of our lives upon whatever comes along. Like it or not, we play the hand that fate deals us. If fate is kind, some people credit their fortuitous circumstances to their ingenuity and resoluteness. If fate is cruel, some people curse God. The truth is that an unenlightened person resists suffering, they continually wish for a world different than it is, whereas an enlightened person learns how to suffer heroically.

COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHTI was born the dayI thought:What is?What was?AndWhat if?I was transformed the dayMy ego shattered,And all the superficial, materialThings that matteredTo me before,Suddenly ceasedTo matter.I really came into beingThe day I no longer cared aboutWhat the world thought of me,Only on my thoughts forChanging the world.

Enlightenment is not an experience at all, because the experiencer is lost. The "I", the ego is lost.Enlightenment is more like an experiencing. It is a process. It begins, but it never ends. You enter it, but you can never possess it. It is a deep merging and melting with Existence. It is a oneness. It is like a drop dropping into the Ocean.

The best way to obtain truth and wisdom is not to ask from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching.

Where there is light, darkness must cease.

There are only two profound ways to reach enlightenment: Laugh by yourself, or get tickled.
