"Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from discussion, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way."

W.H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition

"The highest perception is to feel God as Bliss
welling up from within yourInfinite depths.
Don't yearn for visions, spiritual phenomena, or thrilling experiences.
The path to the Divine is not a circus."

Yogananda

Until The Song Is Ended

I have been in that heaven,
the most illumined by light from Him,
and seen things which to utter
he who returns hath neither skill or knowledge;

For as it nears the object of its yearning
our intellect is overwhelmed so deeply
it can never retrace the path that it followed.

But whatsoever of the holy kingdom
was in the power of memory to treasure
will be my theme until the song is ended.

Dante, Inferno
