Everything is a spark of that eternal radiance.
Why flee from the world in order to find it
when you yourself are already on fire?
~ from MY SECRET IS SILENCE by Adyashanti
Spirituality's highest purpose is to touch a mystery beyond words, which is perceived only in silence and solitude. Listening within the silence puts one in touch with the energy, vibration, and spiritual forces that are at the heart of creation. The realms are real and can only be reached by a quiet mind and practice. The Grandmothers believe we must return to the inner spirit and the spirit of all things, which we have abandoned while looking elsewhere for happiness.
