"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Spiritual Materialism

"Enlightenment is the highest thing that we could ever achieve ... We all know that... But at the same time we have a lot of problems with that. So presenting the teaching of spirituality properly, [...] you have to have very good understanding of basic sanity. And also you have to have a good understanding of basic materialism - spiritually. ..." ~ Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche
