If we can give up attachment to our roles as helpers, then maybe our clients can give up attachment to their roles as patients and we can meet as fellow souls on this incredible journey. We can fulfill the duties of our roles without being trapped by over-identification with them.

Our journey is about being more deeply involved in life, and yet less attached to it.

Grieve not; though the journey of life be bitter, and the end unseen, there is no road which does not lead to an end.

The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

I think the question is, how do we live with change? Change in our friends, change in our lovers? Change in me and change in my body, from the stroke. Things have changed this plane of consciousness. We've tried to keep things the same. It causes suffering. This suffering is another step in your spiritual life, in your spiritual journey.

We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.

After one arrives at the summit, after going through the total transformation of being...there is yet one more step to the completion of that journey: the return to the valley below, to the everyday world. Who it is that returns is not who began the climb in the first place. The being that comes back is quietness itself, is compassion and wisdom, is the truth of the ages. Whatever humble or elevated position that being holds within the community, he or she becomes a light for others on the way a statement of the freedom that comes from having touched the top of the mountain.

There are no chains like hate... dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.

The artist's task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.

Vedanta is talking about you. Your own reality. The Atman means the Self itself. Who am I? What am I? Right here, right now. Not a journey in space. Not a journey in time. Not a journey from one reality to another … Vedanta is not even a journey from one object to another.

Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.

When you come upon a path that brings benefit and happiness to all, follow this course as the moon journeys through the stars.

The human soul is on its journey from the law to love, from discipline to liberation, from the moral plane to the spiritual.

Meditation is the inner journey, the spiritual journey, the journey towards the Absolute or the journey of divine love.

There is no difference in the destination, the only difference is in the journey.

The spiritual journey of Vedanta is not a journey in space. It’s not a journey from one place to another … Vedanta is not a journey in time. You are not waiting for something to happen … Vedanta is not there. It’s not then. It’s here and now.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery.

It's hard enough to change ourselves. We can't expect other people to change so that we feel better. We have to take the journey ourselves.

This is the pathless path - returning to where you were initially before you got lost. The deepest truth in you is where the journey leads - shedding, like taking off layers of an onion, until you come to your essence. The key to the spiritual journey is not acquiring something outside of yourself. Rather it is shedding the veils to come back to the deepest truth of your being.

Every journey starts with a single step.

Do not judge others, for you do not know their journey.
