Anthony de Mello
Said the master: Where does your question come from?
Anthony de Mello
There's only one reason why you're not experiencing bliss at this present moment, and it's because you're thinking or focusing on what you don't have....But, right now you have everything you need to be in bliss.
Anthony de Mello
This truth I firmly hold, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding my life has been a gift, a blessing to the world.
Anthony de Mello
May the peace of God disturb you always.
