Words of wisdom
Anthony de Mello, a Jesuit priest,
influenced the world through his powerful understanding of the human condition.
Through the use of parables and teaching stories, de Mello pointed the way to
reclaiming our true power. Born in 1931 and died in 1987, he was known
throughout the world for his writings and spiritual conferences. The
following are his excerpts and stories from Awareness: The Perils and
Opportunities of Reality., One Minute Wisdom, and Awakening:
Conversations With the Master.
"Spirituality means waking up. Most people,
even though they don't know it, are asleep. They're born asleep, they
live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they
die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the
loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence."
