Passages from My Life's Soul-Journey
Your loving heart is your inexhaustable wealth in your inner world.
A spiritual seeker uses his heart and his soul to see the world within and the world without. He does not use his outer eyes. He has seen time and time again that the vision of his outer eyes is limited, precisely because this vision is guided by the subtle or unconscious operation of the unlit, unillumined mind. It is simply impossible for the outer eyes to identify themselves with the quintessence of beauty. But if we use the heart, immediately we become part and parcel of the substance and essence of what we are seeing.
The unaspiring mind thinks
That meditation is a waste of time.
The aspiring heart feels tand knows
That meditation is
The secret and sacred blossoming
Of one's Heaven-ascending life.
~Sri Chinmoy
