This anthology of quotations is gathered from both East and West, from the great spiritual teachers, poets, philosophers of the past, as well as from contemporary writings. When life loses its meaning and confusion reigns, when pain and sorrow overwhelm us, when we feel we have lost our way, there lies our great opportunity to learn and grow. At that point we need inspiration to help us on our way. With inspiration comes the necessary shift in consciousness.
"The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels" - Hazrat Khan. Quotes, poems, bits of philosphy, East, West, saints, sinners, poets, authors all contribute to this inspiring collection of quotes. Some simple, some pretty deep, all are beautiful thoughts. A friend once gave it to me and years later I still reference it. "When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found". Sufi aphorism.
A remarkable compilation that can be read again & again
