I am a reader of books—mostly books on spirituality these days. For those of you, like me, who are “fed” by reading, here is a little reminder from Yusef that I got recently. Perhaps it is a reminder for you as well. 🙂

YUSEF:
Reading books may stimulate something within where connections are made, but reading books does not have the same benefit as the experience of the UNION found in SILENCE.

The content of books may be remembered and quoted, but the
experience of COMMUNING WITH GOD MOST HIGH,
where there are no words spoken or remembered,
is of greater benefit than all the books in the world.

There is no comparison.

Read your books if you choose but also make time to experience the PRESENCE OF GOD in silence.
