By focusing solely on the material world and believing only in the reality you can confirm with your five senses, you forget your divine heritage.
It is the ultimate human paradox that man’s dependence on perception precludes his being able to know his own identity.
Dr. David R. Hawkins
Look to the outer world and you see yourself as a human being. Look to your inner world and you see yourself as a spiritual being.
We behold what we are, and we are what we behold.
John of Ruysbroeck
Ego cunningly shields your eyes from the light of spirit that ceaselessly bathes you in its loving, protective glow.
Nothing hath separated us from God but our own will, or rather our own will is our separation from God.
William Law
Yet no matter how unconsciously you move through life, you can never fully tune out the gentle but persistent stirrings of your soul.
When I am bound by nature, by name and form, by time, space, and causality, I do not know what I truly am. But even in this bondage my real Self is not completely lost. I strain against the bonds; one by one they break, and I become conscious of my inner grandeur.
Swami Vivekananda
