Today I just wanted to share a few inspirational quotes from great masters. These are teachers who have deeply influenced my own path. I\u2019m also playing around with formats for a future newsletter I\u2019ll be starting soon \u2014 something short, soulful, and regular. Let\u2019s see where it goes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udd49\ufe0f Ramana Maharshi<\/strong>
\u201cYour own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A reminder that real change starts within. When we come home to our true nature, the world benefits.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf3c Sri Ramakrishna<\/strong>
\u201cThe winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Grace is ever-present \u2014 but we need to be willing, open, and humble enough to receive it.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf1f Paramahansa Yogananda<\/strong>
\u201cYou do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides Him from you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about chasing something outside of us \u2014 it\u2019s about clearing what\u2019s in the way.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf42 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/strong>
\u201cThe present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A beautiful call to be here, now \u2014 not in the past, not in the future. Right here.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf3a Ram Dass<\/strong>
\u201cWe’re all just walking each other home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A gentle reminder of love, humility, and shared humanity.<\/p>\n

\n

More soon. Jai Hanuman \ud83d\ude4f<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
