    Henry David Thoreau (2015). “Thoreau on Nature: Sage Words on Finding Harmony with the Natural World”, p.40, Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.

  • place where man laughs, sings, picks flowers, chases butterflies and pets birds, makes love with maidens, and plays with children.

  • My approach is that we are not searching for experiences here. We are trying to know the one who experiences all experiences. Our search is for the witness. Who is this observer? Who is this consciousness? Sometimes it feels sad, sometimes it feels happy; sometimes it is so high, flying in the sky, and sometimes so down. Who is this watcher of all these games? - high and low, happy, unhappy, in heaven and hell. Who is this watcher? To know this watcher is to know God. And you are already it - just a little awakening is needed... no search but only awakening.

With each person we meet, we can learn to look behind the mask and see the one who longs to love and be loved.
