When something comes natural to us, it seems to have all the necessary elements to support our life…and our spirit.
To feel at home somewhere is not just to find a place seemingly familiar to us but to attain a state of consciousness in which we identify with the Self, nourishing our idealism, creativity and service.
“In a home like the temple of God, or in a simple cottage under a bough, free from attachment and greed; who shall be denied happiness in such a life of purity and renunciation.”
Swami Shankarachariya
“Try to remember you are a traveler here and you will move on to dissimilar and fascinating worlds. Do not limit your thought to one life or one world. Remember the vastness of Spirit within you.”
Swami Yogananda
”The time that my journey takes is long and the way of it long.
I came out on the chariot of the first gleam of light, and pursued my voyage through the wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet.
It is the most distant course that comes nearest to thyself, and that training is the most intricate which leads to the utter simplicity of a tune.
The traveller has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.”
Rabindranath Tagore
