Where shall I look for Enlightenment?
Here.
When will it happen?
It is happening right now.
Then why don’t I experience it?
Because you do not look.
What should I look for?
Nothing, just look.
At what?
Anything your eyes alight upon.
Must I look in a special kind of way?
No. The ordinary way will do.
But don’t I always look the ordinary way?
No.
Why ever not?
Because to look you must be here. You’re mostly somewhere else.
– Anthony de Mello

Wonderful. Delicious simplicity.
Yes Amrita! My appetite these days is for maximum pith and punch in as few words as possible…

that is so very helpful
It’s like a sandal-slap from a Zen master. I’m glad you found it helpful Nina. Anthony De Mello’s writing is a wonderful source of no-nonsense wisdom.

I have one of his book. No nonsense spirituality is so nice. Otherwise nonsense is my favorite thing, really
You are the high priestess of nonsense Nina, you ‘do it’ better than anyone I know in your creative expression. x
OH! ( fans herself happily)
I am always stunned by the power of simple beautiful words like these.
Me too John. I couldn’t resist sharing to the blogosphere, for those who aren’t on Facebook.
