“Namaste, a person says, and with just one word, she acknowledges so much. She acknowledges the existence of the soul, she acknowledges the existence of the soul within her, she acknowledges the existence of the souls within other people, and she acknowledges the need to remember this holiest of holy truths often.”

“Namaste means the spirit in me sees the spirit in you. And do you see yet the great truth in this simple phrase? When your eyes and brain alone cannot see the spirit in another, the spirit in you sees it always.”

“Namastemeans that my soul acknowledges yours -not just your light,your wisdom, your goodness,but also your darkness,your suffering, your imperfections.It is a recognitionand acceptance ofthe inexplicabledivine absurdity,the miraculous woveninto the ordinary,light and darknessintimately entwinedin magical, messyhumanity. It means that I honorall that you arewith all that I am.So, namaste, my fellow travelers.I’m so glad we’re on this trek through the universe together.”

“Don’t be so loyal to your mind; the mind is not loyal to You.”
