Seek and Serve

 

Maximilian Kolbe

“No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we are ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?” – Maximilian Kolbe

Mantric Paradox

meditation by the lake

“The paradox of the mantra is that it does most for us when it appears to be doing least. And what is done for us can never be separated from what is done for those around us – and beyond. The prayer or praise of the heart is a centre of energy – the creative energy of love – which moves into areas of which we can seldom be consciously aware.”   – Robert Llewelyn
