When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!

True education is not pumped and crammed in from outward sources, but aids in bringing to the surface the infinite hoard of wisdom within.
–Tagore in Autobiography of a Yogi p. 306
There is nothing of which [the soul] has not gained the knowledge; no wonder that she is able to recollect… what formerly she knew…For inquiry [...]

M: In the light of consciousness all sorts of things happen and one need not give special importance to any. The sight of a flower is as marvelous as the vision of God. Let them be. Why remember them and then make memory into a problem? Be bland about them; do nat divide them into [...]
