A quote from Indian philosopher Vimala Taka. 'When you have the humility to be with people in the simplicity of what you are, not pretending to be what you are not, not trying to hide what you are, then communion takes place, you understand the other person more deeply. Then all knowledge is made possible and you notice that a new tenderness of affection begins to blossom'.
