I like this quote I found last night from somebody named Ramesh:

“Self-enquiry is the direct path to Self-realization or enlightenment. The only way to make the mind cease its outward activities is to turn it inward. By steady and continuous investigation into the nature of the mind, the mind itself gets transformed into That to which it owes its own existence.”

I found that by researching a possibly apocryphal quote from St. Francis of Assisi that I came across which goes something like “What you are looking for is what is looking.”
