The only way to find our true Nature is to look steadily within.



Douglas Edison Harding (1909-2007) was an English philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher and author of a number of books, including On Having No Head - Zen and the Redisovery of the Obvious.

The best day of my life—my rebirthday, so to speak—was when I found I had no head. This is not a literary gambit, a witticism designed to arouse interest at any cost. I mean it in all seriousness: I have no head. READ MORE 
Harding's Moment of Discovery - Extract from On Having No Head

"There is a Reality which is Indivisible, One, Alone, the Source and Being of all; not a thing, nor even a mind, but pure Spirit or clear Consciousness; and we are That and nothing but That, for That is our true Nature; and the only way to find It is to look steadily within, where are to be found utmost peace, unfading joy, and eternal life itself."
