“Far more indispensable than food for the physical body is spiritual nourishment for the soul. One can do without food for a considerable time, but a man of the spirit cannot exist for a single second without spiritual nourishment.” – Mohandas Gandhi (1869 – 1948) India Independence Movement Leader from British rule (on prayer and meditation)

LIFE’S PARADOX OF THE IDEAL –

“While the circum-
stances of our lives
may not change, the

cease to struggle against life
on life’s terms. Striving to
maintain and build on our
surrender, we are better
able to live and enjoy
life in the moment.”
(It Works, How &
Why, p. 23)
