Anthony de Mello Quotes
- As soon as you look at
the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life
is beyond that. That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life…
Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning. Life only makes sense when you
perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind.
Anthony
de Mello Quotes
- It
is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone
it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is
one of hostility and fear!
Anthony
de Mello Quotes - There
is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs
so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.
Anthony
de Mello Quotes - As
you identify less and less with the "me", you will be more at ease with
everybody and with everything. Do you know why? Because you are no longer afraid
of being hurt or not liked. You no longer desire to impress anyone. Can you imagine
the relief when you don't have to impress anybody anymore? Oh, what a relief.
Happiness at last!
Anthony
de Mello Quotes - Wisdom
tends to grow in proportion to one's awareness of one's ignorance.
Anthony
de Mello Quotes -
Suffering points out that there is falsehood somewhere. Suffering occurs when
you clash with reality. When your illusions clash with reality when your falsehoods
clash with the truth, then you have suffering. Otherwise there is no suffering.
Anthony
de Mello Quotes - People
who want a cure, provided they can have it without pain, are like those who favour
progress, provided they can have it without change.
