...We are like Tolstoy's fabled begger who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, begging for pennies from every passerby, unaway that his own fortune was right under him the whole time. Your treasure--your perfection--is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and into the silence of the heart.
--from "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert
