Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question....Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.

NAMASTE

Albert Einstein, after watching newsreel after newsreel of Mahatma Gandhi, was especially intrigued how Gandhi placed his hands together as if in prayer and bowed in greeting to people in the streets. Einstein wrote Mahatma Gandhi to ask what was being said. Gandhi replied, “Namaste”. Einstein wrote Gandhi again to ask the meaning of the Hindu word “Namaste”. The reply from Gandhi:

“ I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides.

I honor the place in you of light, love, truth, peace and wisdom.

I honor the place in you where, when you are in that place, and I am in that place, we are both one.”
