“Loneliness and solitude are two different things. When you are lonely, it is easy to delude yourself into believing that you are on the right path. Solitude is better for us, as it means being alone without feeling lonely. But eventually it is best to find a person, the person who will be your mirror. Remember, only in another person's heart can you truly see yourself and the presence of God within you.” BelieveHeartMeanPersonsTwoDifferentFeelingsRememberEasyPathLonelinessSolitudeLonelyMirrorsDifferent ThingsWithin YouPresence Of GodRight PathFeeling LonelyLoneliness And SolitudeTwo Different Things Author:Elif Safak
“Bountiful is your life, full and complete. Or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. Like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. That person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. Sometimes it can be a child to look after. What matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. All the prophets have given the same advice: Find the one who will be your mirror!".” ThinkingLooksChildrenPersonsHas BeensSoulSometimesMatterShowsSpiritualGivenRealizingSeeingAdviceMissingMastersLoversMirrorsYour SoulProphetVoidWhat MattersAbsentSpiritual Masters Author:Elif Safak

“We're born into a certain family, nation, class. But if we have no connection whatsoever with the worlds beyond the one we take for granted, then we too run the risk of drying up inside. Our imagination might shrink; our hearts might dwindle, and our humanness might wither if we stay for too long inside our cultural cocoons. Our friends, neighbors, colleagues, family - if all the people in our inner circle resemble us, it means we are surrounded with our mirror image.” PeopleIfsWorldHeartMeanLongMightRunningCertainNationsBornImaginationClassRiskConnectionsMirrorsCirclesGrantedColleaguesShrinksNeighbourHumannessCocoonsMirror Image Author:Elif Safak
