The Seeker is the Sought: What we are searching for is actually the very consciousness that is doing the searching (Francis of Assisi).
Internal vs. External: There is a critique of looking for answers in the outside world when the truth resides within (Mahatma Gandhi).
The Illusion of Separation: A poetic realization that the "door" to the divine was never an external barrier; the seeker was always already inside (Rumi).
The Nature of Reality: Real peace is found in the understanding that what is truly "real" is eternal and cannot be threatened, while the "unreal" (the transitory) does not truly exist (A Course in Miracles).
