A thought is a screen, not a mirror; that is why you live in a thought envelope, untouched by Reality. — Anthony De Mello

The Master insisted that what he taught was nothing, what he did was nothing.

His disciples gradually discovered that Wisdom comes to those who learn nothing, unlearn everything.

That transformation is the consequence not of something done, but of something dropped.

The Master would insist that the final barrier to our attaining God was the word and concept "God."

There were rules in the monastery, but the Master always warned against the tyranny of the law.

"Obedience keeps the rules," he would say. "Love knows when to break them."
