spiritual awakening and enlightenment in today’s world

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. —Bertrand Russell

Ineffable

August 30th, 2006 Posted in Poetry, Quick Thoughts, Spirituality

Speak of it, and you’re lying.
Think of it, and you’re deceived.
Write of it, and you set errors in stone.

Ignore it, and you bind yourself.
Look at it, and you are bewildered.
Realize it, and you are free.

    Right. On.

    Blogging / Writing about such matters is fun and certainly has its purpose but it’s not IT.

    Realization alone, and not knowledge of IT, is IT.

    And it’s not. :)

    (haha, man i love this stuff)
