"soul realization" 104/365

just reading a good book and reflecting on the different tradition's takes on achieving soul realization..so different and seemingly contradictory..only if you don't recognize the different angles on the one truth..

 

(sorry to get so deep) but i find it fascinating.. just a few tid bits i really enjoyed--
