Worry is spiritual short sight. Its cure is intelligent faith  (Paul Brunton Quotes) All methods and techniques - and of course all human beings who propound them - are merely instruments to help the student obtain a methodless, technique-free, teacherless state.  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Deep down within the heart there is a stillness which is healing, a trust in the universal laws which is unwavering, and a strength which is rock-like. But because it is so deep we need both patience and perseverance when digging for it  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Your self is sacred; be true to it  (Paul Brunton Quotes) He is beginning to master wisdom when he tries to learn how not to try  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Nothing matters so much that we should throw ourselves into a state of panic about it. No happening is so important that we should let ourselves be exiled from from inner peace and mental calm for its sake  (Paul Brunton Quotes) The world is our school for spiritual discovery  (Paul Brunton Quotes) When spiritual seeking becomes too complicated, its exercies too elaborated, its doctrines too esoteric, it becomes also too artificial and the resulting achievements too fabricated. It is the beginners and intermediates who carry this heavy and unnecessary burden, who involve themselves to the point of becoming neurotics  (Paul Brunton Quotes) The succession of thoughts appears in time, but the gap between two of them is outside time. The gap itself is normally unobserved. The chance of enlightenment is missed  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Appetite has really become an artificial and abnormal thing, having taken the place of true hunger, which alone is natural. The one is a sign of bondage but the other, of freedom  (Paul Brunton Quotes) The artist must raise the cup of his vision aloft to the gods in the high hope that they will pour into it the sweet mellow wine of inspiration  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Whoever lives in the spirit lives in perennial peace. It is a happy peace, a smiling peace, but one is not lost in it. One is aware also of the suffering which exists around him or her and the world at large  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Our greatest illusion is disillusion. We imagine that we are disillusioned with life, when the truth is that we have not even begun to live  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Find the God in your own heart and you will understand by direct intuition what all the great teachers, real mystics, true philosophers and inspired people have been trying to tell you by the tortuous method of using words  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Outwardly one’s life may suffer every kind of limitation, from bodily paralysis to miserable surroundings, but inwardly it is free in meditation to reach out to a sphere of light, beauty, truth, love, and power  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Although the pure truth has never been stated, nevertheless it has never been lost. Its existence does not depend upon human statement but upon human sensitivity. In this it is unlike all other knowledge  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Every morning is like a new reincarnation into this world. Let us take it then for what it is and live each moment anew  (Paul Brunton Quotes) The seeker after stillness should be told that the stillness is always there. Indeed it is in every man. But he has to learn, first, to let it in and, second, how to do so. The first beginning of this is to remember. The second is to recognize the inward pull. For the rest, the stillness itself will guide and lead him to itself  (Paul Brunton Quotes) God needs no worship, no praise, no thanksgiving. It is man himself who needs the benefit to be derived from these activities  (Paul Brunton Quotes) No man who has lived through a temporary spiritual experience is ever likely to forget it. His days will be haunted until he sets out to seek ways and means of repeating it  (Paul Brunton Quotes) You may accept the inevitable with bitterness and resentment or with patience and grace. Mere acceptance is not sufficient  (Paul Brunton Quotes) When it seems humanly impossible to do more in a difficult situation, surrender yourself to the inner silence and thereafter wait for a sign of obvious guidance or for a renewal of inner strength  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Every discussion which is made from an egoistic standpoint is corrupted from the start and cannot yield an absolutely sure conclusion. The ego puts its own interest first and twists every argument, word, even fact to suit that interest  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Every test successfully met is rewarded by some growth in intuitive knowledge, strengthening of character, or initiation into a higher consciousness  (Paul Brunton Quotes) That deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world’s sounds  (Paul Brunton Quotes) If outer events bring him to a position where he can bear them no longer and force him to cry out to the higher power in helplessness for relief, or if inner feelings bring humiliation and recognition of his dependence on that power, this crushing of the ego may open the door to grace  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Accept the long night patiently, quietly, humbly, and resignedly as intended for your true good. It is not a punishment for sin committed but an instrument of annihilating egoism  (Paul Brunton Quotes) When every situation which life can offer is turned to the profit of spiritual growth, no situation can really be a bad one  (Paul Brunton Quotes) This withdrawal from the day’s turmoil into creative silence is not a luxury, a fad, or a futility. It dissolves mental tensions and heals negative emotions  (Paul Brunton Quotes) Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines  (Paul Brunton Quotes)
