“Meditation is a function of the inner man. It involves deep subjective quietude, the emptying of the mind and the filling oneself with the light that emerges from the Divine spark within.”— Sri Sathya Sai Baba (via spiritualgateway)
“The disassembling of defenses, the facing of oneself, the stripping down to the bones, the desire for both knowledge and relief. These cause a soul to peer into what the soul truly wants, and to weep for loss and love of both.”— Clarissa Pinkola Estés, from “Women who Run with the Wolves,” c. 1992
