"Many materialists, those whose sights are not set beyond this life, may be awed by the vastness and depth of the theory of nonduality but disregard faith and devotion, even though faith and devotion are the vehicles that effectively deliver you to nonduality. They can accept the logic of truth but then snobbishly dismiss myth and ritual. They don´t seem to understand that myth is the only means to understand the truth, because everything we say is myth."
"It is likely that someone who claims to be their own master is the embodiment of deep insecurity."
