What is supremely important is to be free from contradictions: the goal and the way must not be on different levels; life and light must not quarrel; behaviour must not betray belief.

Tenacity of purpose and honesty in pursuit will bring you to your goal. – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Everything else can be let go of, right now, and all the time. Get the Desktop Wallpaper

Don’t seek and find.” – Osho, Book of Secrets
