"And when you have dismissed the serpents of vanity and greed, conquered the lizards of self importance and lulled the monkey mind to sleep, your steps will be lighter. When you have given up everything to make a friend a cup of tea and tend her broken heart, stood up against the violation of innocent children and their fathers and mothers, made conscious choices to live simply and honour the earth, your steps will be lighter.When you have grown still on purpose while everything around is asking for chaos, you will find the doors between every room of the interior castle thrown open, the path home to your true love unobstructed after all."
