“THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING MISTAKES” Spiritual awakening does not occur in those who acquire or increase their knowledge. Similarly, spiritual awakening does not occur in those who are attached to spiritual doings, take pride in them, or feel ashamed of their inability to do them well. This is because those…

“IN THE INNERMOST STILLNESS” As we become accustomed to self-observation in the innermost stillness, we begin to exist with that silence with a degree of awareness on a regular basis. This allows us to simply observe the true essence of things, the facts as they are, without judging the words…
