Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, worship, psychic control or philosophy — by one, or more, or all of these — and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, dogmas, rituals, books, temples, and forms, are but secondary details. -- Swami Vivikenanda

BE THE CHANGE ...
The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.
How do we look upon the brokenness of ourselves and the world, and in fixing our gaze, relinquish our desire to fix or change?
Is it possible to just be with what is broken, to look, and in looking, come to love?
Is there a place or circumstance where you avert your gaze?
If so, commit to looking closer this week, and to be present with that discomfort.
