Spirituality is a concept. What people project on so-called
spirituality, they used to project on their Boy Scout team when
they were six, on their football team when they were ten, on
politics at twenty and on marriage at thirty... The void that we try

True spirituality is gratitude.
True spirituality is a stillness that makes one available for
every moment.

There comes a time when you don't feel the need to look for
yourself in the different currents of life. Then there isn't any

What remains is non-separateness.
[You] understand that there is nothing to understand, nothing to
acquire. [You] don't need to invent tools to face life, to create ways

to know. We do not need anything to get a feeling for the
Primordial.
No need to change anything in ourselves.
