Thanks for introducing me to BKS, Tim. I never heard of him. Seems to have impacted many, many lives – including yours!
I looked up his 8 quotes. I liked the one about not giving up even though we will never be perfect.

I like these two: “Illuminated emancipation, freedom, unalloyed and untainted bliss await you, but you have to choose to embark on the Inward Journey to discover it.”
“When you inhale, you are taking the strength from God. When you exhale, it represents the service you are giving to the world.”
