"Irrespective of different philosophies, the most important thing is to have - His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Intellectuals -- especially those on spiritual paths -- have a marked tendency to complicate things. When we get caught up in endlessly searching our souls and the universe for answers, in reading every last spiritual book and taking every last personal growth seminar, we forget that it's all ultimately simple. We have only to center our awareness in the moment and concentrate on loving kindness to instantly connect with all the wisdom we really need.
