Says: “If you don’t find Spring, you make it” *Elytis
Maybe; You never find the Spring of the heart..and you always make it.
Maybe; The Spring of the heart is not like the Spring of Time, who will come to meet you.
Maybe; You meet the Spring of the heart within yourself, as you make it.
Maybe; This is what Elytis wants to tell us. That, “Spring, if you don’t find it, you make it.
A student of mine told me: “I don’t want to go to temples anymore because I don’t find anything holy there anymore”
I told her: If you expect to find something sacred in the temples, you will never find it. You make the sanctuary. Make it, and go as you will have it in you, in your heart. Make it at home, you will have it at home and take it with you wherever you go. You want to go to a temple, because you feel so, or you want to make a connection, or a prayer… because something leads you there.Take with you the sanctuary you have built within yourself.
Without this sanctuary no prayer works…and no space has holiness unless you have built holiness into the most sacred space of the heart.Where there is the only soil…where holiness flourishes!
Spring, then, which can be God if you can’t find him…You make him up….
