QUOTES OF THE MONTH

“When you get to be older and the concerns of the day have all been attended to and you turn to the inner life…Well, if you don’t know where it is, you’ll be sorry.” – Joseph Campbell

“Your own self is your ultimate teacher. The outer teacher is merely a milestone. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for he is the goal.” — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

QUESTIONS OF THE MONTH

1. How would you describe the nature and purpose of your spiritual path?
2. On a spiritual level, what do you yearn for most?

RECOMMENDED BOOK (in addition to my own, of course)

The Holy Longing, by Connie Zweig. In every tradition, saints and poets speak eloquently of the soul’s search for the beloved. If you feel a gnawing yearning beneath your other desires, or if you feel disillusioned with your spiritual tradition, this book can teach you how to live with your holy longing and rekindle the flame of faith.
