| Quote of the moment |
| I am talking to you and you are listening to me. We are generally under the impression that there is a speaker and an audience and there is the sound of words being spoken but, in ultimate truth, if I search within myself I will not find the words, and if you search yourselves you will not find them - they are all void like empty space. Yet they are not completely nonexistent. They must exist, for we are able to feel them. What I am saying is being heard by you, and you are in turn thinking on the subject. My speech is producing some effects, yet if we search for them we cannot find them. This mystery relates to the dual nature of truth. |
