The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.
"I am just a guest born in this world, to know the secrets that lie beyond It." #Rumi
There is a candle in the heart of man, waiting to be kindled.
In separation from the Friend, there is a cut waiting to be stitched.
#Rumi
"Why explain yourself when those who judge you see only through their own lens?
Be silent.
Let them see."
#Rumi
To praise the sun is to praise your own eyes.
#Rumi
As you are, so is this world. Without understanding yourself, what is the use of trying to understand the world?
