Paul Brunton

Every morning is like a new reincarnation into this world. Let us take it then for what it is and live each moment anew.

This withdrawal from the day’s turmoil into creative silence is not a luxury, a fad, or a futility. It dissolves mental tensions and heals negative emotions.

Let us accept the invitation, ever-open, from the Stillness, taste its exquisite sweetness, and heed its silent instruction.

Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.

Our greatest illusion is disillusion. We imagine that we are disillusioned with life when the truth is that we have not even begun to live.

Worry is spiritual short sight. Its cure is intelligent faith.
