The Most Dangerous Form of Pride
“Of all kinds of pride, pride in one’s own learning is the most vile.”— Desiderius Erasmus
Spiritual intelligence
" I will call the world a school instituted for the purpose of teaching little children to read. I will call the human heart the hornbook used in that school. And I will call the child able to read, the soul made from that school and its hornbook. Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul? A place where the heart must feel and suffer in a thousand diverse ways...."

Practice Before You Preach
“Practice before you preach.”(traditional saying) This is a short thought with the potential for a long practice afterward. It invites you to recall everything you know about the topic you are interested in and to check whether you are living it. If you find a discrepancy between the two, it invites you to start practicing […]

Regeneration Is Only Possible Now
“Regeneration is only possible in the present – not in the future, not tomorrow. A man who relies on time as a means through which he can gain happiness, or realise truth or God, is merely deceiving himself; he is living in ignorance and therefore in conflict.” –Paraphrased from the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti

Truth — not Effort — Brings Freedom
“Only when the mind is calm and relaxed, not looking for answers or solutions, neither running away nor resisting, can there be rebirth; because then the mind can see the truth, and truth — not effort — brings freedom.”∗ Jiddu Krishnamurthi There are times when it’s appropriate to look for solutions using our mind and […]

Do not seek the respect of the world
Do not seek the respect of the world. Do not feel humiliated or resentful if the world fails to recognize your merit. Paraphrased from the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Satya Sai Baba

Rumi: being human is the guest house
This being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival.A joy, a depression, a meanness,some momentary awareness comesas an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they are a crowd of sorrowswho violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture,still, treat each guest honourably.He may be clearing you outfor some new delight. The dark […]

Awareness of Inner Emptiness
From Jiddu Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom “For most of us, life is based on effort, on various expressions of will. We cannot imagine action without the exercise of will, without effort. Our life is grounded in them. Our social, economic, and so-called spiritual life consists of a series of efforts that always aim […]

The Meaning of Non-Doing – A Parable
“Buddha was walking through the forest with his disciples. They were very thirsty and came upon a small spring. The disciples rushed to drink, jostled one another, and muddied the water. Then they began to wonder what to do. Buddha, however, insisted that they continue on their way. The disciples were very thirsty; they pleaded […]

In the end, it is between you and God
This is my favourite thought. One of my very favourites. I do not know whether it truly belongs to Mother Teresa or is only attributed to her, but for me it captures the true essence of spiritual intelligence. If a person lives what is expressed in it, they will no longer feel like a powerless […]

Osho on Death as the Gateway to Real Life
“Death is more important than life. Life is quite trivial, superficial. Death is deeper. Through death you grow into real life… through life you only reach death and nothing more. What we call and mean by life is merely a journey toward death. If you can understand that your whole life is only a journey […]

The Purpose of Relationships
From Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God: “There is a way to be happy in a relationship, and that is to use it for its true purpose, rather than for a purpose you have invented for yourself… Relationships are a constant challenge; they constantly call you to create, express, and experience ever-higher aspects of yourself—ever […]

On Remaining True to the Soul
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run with the Wolves: “If you have tried to play a role that is not truly yours and have failed, you have been fortunate. You may be exiles, but you have kept your souls.”
