Whatever your circumstances, get into the habit of going …

03/17/2008

Whatever your circumstances, get into the habit of going deep within yourself, in order to find that quintessence called love, wisdom, gentleness, goodness, peace, inspiration, purity and gratitude. Simple objects you hold in your hand can help to bring out what is hidden in the depths of your being: a bird’s feather, a leaf from a tree, a pebble… everything can become an intermediary, a means of getting in touch with your inner world. And even a word written on a piece of paper can also suffice: you write a word, and thanks to this single word you enter your inner laboratory, and you find the ‘flask’ that carries the same name. The word you have written is like a reference, a detector; you hold it in one hand while you look for the flask in the other and, as there is an affinity between this word and a particular flask, you will eventually find it. I will never tire of repeating this: there are so many things at your disposal, but only so long as you make the effort to use them!
