The master was asked, “what is spirituality?”

He said, ‘Spirituality is that which succeeds

is bringing one to inner transformation.”

“But if I apply the traditional methods handed

down by the masters, is that not spirituality?”

“It is NOT spirituality if it does not perform

its function for you. A blanket is no longer a

blanket if it does not keep you warm.”

“So spirituality does change?”

“People change and needs charge. So what was

spirituality once is spirituality no more. What

generally goes under the name of spirituality

is merely the record of past methods.”

– from Song of the Bird, by Anthony de Mello

simple knowing from inside…

inquiry for today~ forward and onward and slowly….

where we release into hope…

The environment we create will determine what prevails.

In other words, what we nurture and encourage wins.

~Jane Goodall
