Say not, 'i have found the truth,' but rather, 'i have found a truth.' say not, ' i have found the path of the soul.' say rather, 'i have met the soul walking upon my path.' for the soul walks upon all paths. the soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. the soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

Say Not, 'i Have Found The Truth,'

Khalil Gibran

Say not, 'i have found the truth,' but rather, 'i have found a truth.' say not, ' i have found the path of the soul.' say rather, 'i have met the soul walking upon my path.' for the soul walks upon all paths. the soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. the soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

More From Khalil Gibran

The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

It's like growing lotus flowers. you cannot grow lotus flowers on marble. you have to grow them on the mud. without mud you cannot have lotus flowers. without suffering, you have no way to learn how to be understanding and compassionate.

If you come to plum village in the summertime, you see many lotus flowers. without the mud the lotus flowers cannot grow. you cannot separate lotus flowers from the mud. it is the same with understanding and love. these are two kinds of flowers that grow on the ground of suffering

... if we take the universe of 'fitting,' countless coats 'fit' backs, and countless boots 'fit' feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones 'fit' gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. in the same way countless opinions 'fit' realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.

Xxix traveler, there is no path. the path is made by walking. traveller, the path is your tracks and nothing more. traveller, there is no path the path is made by walking. by walking you make a path and turning, you look back at a way you will never tread again traveller, there is no road only wakes in the sea.

There is a beautiful expression of this in the chandogya upanishad: 'there is this city of brahman, (that is the body), and in this city there is a shrine, and in that shrine there is a small lotus, and in that lotus there is a small space, (akasa). now what exists within that small space, that is to be sought, that is to be understood.' this is the great discovery of the upanishads, this inner shrine, this guha, or cave of the heart, where the inner meaning of life, of all human existence, is to be found.

Similar Quotes

I'll never, never understand why people think it's their business to comment on other people's bodies. i go to a spa in la sometimes, a korean day spa, and all the women there are nude. and i've never felt so in love with the human form as when i'm walking around and seeing all those bodies, thinking, oh my god, we're all just built so differently. and every single body is beautiful. i will never understand that shame, and the reinforcement of that shame. it's crazy.

The faster the word sticks to the thought, the more beautiful is the effect.

Few women are so beautiful and charming that they can afford to divest themselves of any portion of their charm; so they are very foolish to do so by smoking. it doesn't matter about men. men look ugly and silly, too, when smoking. but it isn't beauty that matters with them-only strength

Every girl likes feeling hot and sexy and beautiful and likes hearing it.
