He learned more from the river than Vasudeva could teach him. He learned from it continually.
Above all, he learned from it how to listen with a still heart, with a waiting open soul, without passion, without desire, without judgment, without opinions
Hesse, Siddartha
‘What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?’
Philip Larkin, Days
A very important thing
is not to make up your mind
that you are any one thing.
Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) American modernist writer, poet andart collector
The sound of a bell
Still reverberating,
or a blackbird calling
from a corner of the field,
asking you to wake
into this life,
or inviting you deeper
into the one that waits.
David Whyte, The Bell and the Blackbird [extract]
There is a deeper life
than the life we see and hear
with the open ear and the
open eye.
Sean O’Casey, Irish Playwright, died this day, 1964, I Knock at the Door
Turning inward does not have anything to do with thoughts, ideas, opinions, or philosophies. It has nothing to do with the psychological activity of your mind.
Enhancing your perception means enhancing your ability to receive life, just as it is.
If you are willing to dedicate just a few minutes of your life to this every day, you would see the change.
The simple process of paying a little bit of attention to your inner nature will transform the quality of your life in remarkable ways.
