You are not too old and it is not too late to dive into your increasing depths where life calmly gives out it’s own secret.

Rainer Maria Rilke

The years to come - this is a promise - 

will grant you ample time

to try the difficult steps in the empire of thought

where you seek for the shining proofs you think you must have.

But nothing you ever understand will be sweeter, or more binding,

than this deep affinity between your eyes and the world.

Mary Oliver

You have to decide right now to be free once and for all. Everyone who has found freedom in this lifetime has had to make this decision. Now is the time to have a direct introduction to this moment. This moment is free of time, of mind, of any notions. When one abides as the Self, some divine power takes charge of one’s life. All actions then take place spontaneously, and are performed very efficiently, without any mental effort or activity.

Papaji

Reality is harsh. It can be cruel and ugly. Yet no matter how much we grieve over our environment and circumstances nothing will change. What is important is not to be defeated, to forge ahead bravely. If we do this, a path will open before us.
