Memorable Quotes:
Teach us how to know the truth of what we are. we are not confined to the body or the mind.
The great mistake...is trying to be spiritual (the mindset) the farther we get from our essential being. Because we are already spiritual beings.
We want our work to be a harmonious vehicle for those qualities. Our vocation can be an avenue to express our higher purpose.
