Quote of the day

The mind turned inwards is the Self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.

For me, there is something static and lifeless in such a view of God. Could it be that even the Bible is too small a box in which to enclose God?
