“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; where true knowledge is given without cost or burden; where the world has not been broken up into fragments by the narrow walls of dogma or politics; where words come out from the depth of love and an understanding of Oneness; where tireless acts of selfless goodness ever stretch their arms toward perfection; where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of hollow habit; where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thoughts filled with compassion and actions that are ever love & justice-seeking – Into that far greater Heaven of true liberation, my dear Father, let my Soul, and indeed my entire species, awake.” ~ inspired by Rabindranath Tagore
“What you are is God’s gift to you. What you choose to become can be your gift to God.” ~ via Hans Urs von Balthasar
