the greatest learning of the ages lies in accepting life exactly as it comes to us. - Anthony de Mello

The Master insisted that what he taught was nothing, what he did was nothing. His disciples gradually discovered that Wisdom comes to those who learn nothing, unlearn everything. That transformation is the consequence not of something done, but of something dropped.

The secret is to renounce nothing, cling to nothing, enjoy everything and allow it to pass, to flow.

When you go out to the world because of the love that someone else has for you, you are all aglow not with your perception of reality but with the love that you have received from someone else; someone else controls the switch and when it is switched off the glow fades away.
