Ancient Indian prayer: 'Namaste'
I honor in you that place in you where the Lord resides.
And when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me
Then there is only one of us." The Fire of Silence and Stillness:
An Anthology of Quotations for the Spiritual Journey. P. 20
"Our Father, bless us that when we are free, we may gather in heaven
to celebrate Thy birth within us. Manifest Thyself within and without.
Unite us all; in the light of that union may we find Thy One Presence.
With all the devotion of our merged hearts, of our united souls, we fall
at Thy feet of omnipresence. (...)." Paramahansa Yogananda, Man's Eternal
Quest, P.183.
