“Ordinary men live in fear all the time. Didn't you know that? We're afraid of the weather, we're afraid of powerful men, we're afraid of the night and the monsters that lurk in the dark, we're afraid of growing old and of dying. Sometimes we're even afraid of living. Ordinary men are afraid almost every minute of their lives.” KnowsMenSometimesNightDarkPowerfulGrowingMinutesDyingOrdinaryMonstersWeatherGrowing OldOrdinary ManPowerful Man Book:Magician's Gambit: Book Three Of The Belgariad Source: Magician's Gambit: Book Three Of The Belgariad

“Whether you are aware of them or not, whether you recognize them as spiritual or not, you probably have had the experiences of silence, or transcendence, or the Divine-a few seconds, a few minutes that seem out of time; a moment when the ordinary looks beautiful, glowing; a deep sense of being at peace, feeling happy for no reason. When these experiences come...believe in them. They reflect your true nature.” BelieveLooksReasonMomentsFeelingsSeemsBeautifulHappinessSpiritualSilenceMinutesDivineOrdinaryExperienceNo ReasonSecondsTranscendenceGlowingTrue NatureBeing At PeaceFeeling Happy Author:Ravi Shankar
