Spirituality Practiced In The State Of Activity

A Religious Belief Is Not A Statement About Reality, But A Hint, A Clue About Something That Is A Mystery, Beyond The Grasp Of Human Thought. In Short, A Religious Belief Is Only A Finger Pointing To The Moon. Some Religious People Never Get Beyond The Study Of The Finger. Others Are Engaged In Sucking It. Others Yet Use The Finger To Gouge Their Eyes Out. These Are The Bigots Whom Religion Has Made Blind. Rare Indeed Is The Religionist Who Is Sufficiently Detached From The Finger To See What It Is Indicating - These Are Those Who, Having Gone Beyond Belief, Are Taken For Blasphemers.

Concepts Are Always Frozen. Reality Flows.

The Only Way Someone Can Be Of Help To You Is In Challenging Your Ideas. If You're Ready To Listen And If You're Ready To Be Challenged, There's One Thing That You Can Do, But No One Can Help You. What Is This Most Important Thing Of All? It's Called Self-observation.

The Master Made It His Task To Destroy Systematically Every Doctrine, Every Belief, Every Concept Of The Divine, For These Things, Which Were Originally Intended As Pointers, Were Now Being Taken As Descriptions. He Loved To Quote The Eastern Saying "when The Sage Points To The Moon, All That The Idiot Sees Is The Finger.

The Spiritual Quest Is A Journey Without Distance. You Travel From Where You Are Right Now To Where You Have Always Been. From Ignorance To Recognition.
