“Deep in my heart I know I am a loner. I have tried to blend in with the world or be more sociable, but the more people I meet the more disappointed I am. So I’ve learned to enjoy myself, my family, and a few good friends.”

“I just want someone to be truly happy because of me. Someone who is happy to see me, happy to hear me, happy to know me.”

[ID: tweet from rat king @ MikeIsaac dated December 18 2020 which reads, “There is an enormous demonstration going on at @ Stanford Hospital right now carried out by staff, who are protesting the decision by higher ups to give vaccines to some administrators and physicians who are at home and not in contact with patients INSTEAD of frontline workers.”

A divine voice is always there in the heart, always calling you. But you are not available; you are engaged in mundane affairs, in ordinary things. Your mind is full of unnecessary rubbish, busy without business. So you go on missing the still small voice within. Once the mind is silent, once thoughts disappear, once you are left without any thoughts, suddenly the voice is heard. And to hear existence directly from your own heart is the beginning of transformation. It is a revelation. Existence always comes as a revelation; never as knowledge but always as revelation, remember.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
