Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul,
a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking Voice, to which we may
continuously return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-
torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny,
calling us home unto Itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly
committing ourselves in body and soul, utterly and completely,
to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life.

Your beauty should not come from outward
adornment, such as braided hair and the
wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
Instead, it should be that of your inner
self, the unfading beauty of a gentle
and quiet spirit, which is of great
worth in God's sight.


Book of 1 Peter 3:3-4
The Holy Bible
New International Version



_________

Think about yourself:
your temple of God, the body;
your spirit of God, the soul;
the flow of God, the mind.

- Yogi Bhajan


What Yogi Bhajan is saying is that our bodies,
minds, and souls must be consecrated to God
and the Divine Purpose because that is why we
are here ... If we are in harmony with the Divine
Purpose, God's temple, spirit, and flow in our
lives are similarly in harmony.

_________




He who is within us urges, by secret persuasion,
to such an amazing inward Life with Him, so that,
firmly cleaving to Him, we always look out upon all
the world through the sheen of Inward Light, and
react toward men spontaneously and joyously
from this Inward Center.
