Simple kindness, to oneself and all that lives, is the most powerful, transformational force of all.
All spiritual Truth is contained in every single concept.The Eye of the I, S. 284
Question: What do you mean by the path of simplicity to reach enlightenment? Answer: For significant spiritual growth, only one simple tool is required. It is merely necessary to select any simple spiritual principle that is appealing and then proceed with its application, without exception, to every area of life, both within and without. For example, one could therefore choose kindness, compassion, forgiveness, understanding, or non-critical acceptance. One could choose to be unconditionally loving or committed to seeing the innocence of life. Whatever principle is chosen then has to be applied to everyone, including oneself, without exception, and with absolute persistence. This process will bring about spiritual purification as the obstacles to these spiritual principles are brought up for examination.

It is important to see the simple things because the ego is built of bricks. Once you remove one or two bricks the whole wall comes falling down. You don’t have to go to an ashram for three months and eat figs. Just the willingness in ordinary life to be kind and forgiving and compassionate is enough. Be kind and loving towards everything and everyone, in all circumstances. Choose benevolence over malevolence; choose forgiveness over condemnation. Choose to be that which nurtures life and to be aligned with integrity. These are the greatest simple things you can do. Interview Power vs. Force, Kathryn M. Brinkley, US-Zeitschrift Light in Times, November 2004
Alles Tiefe ist zugleich ein Einfaches und lässt sich als solches wiedergeben, wenn nur die Beziehung auf die ganze Wirklichkeit gewahrt ist. Albert Schweitzer, Humanist (1875-1965)
Fortschritt ist die Entwicklung vom Primitiven über das Komplizierte zum Einfachen. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Mache es so einfach wie möglich, aber nicht einfacher. Albert Einstein
Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen zum Thema Einfachheit
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Albert Einstein
When we live simply, we simply act, without attachment to the results of our actions. We exist within the present moment, free from aversion, attachment and desire, free from past and future. We live in the moment, totally connected to God, connected to our heart. Then every action is the "right" one – performed in service to our highest self which is not different from the highest self in all others. In this way, we live free from blame and shame, free from anger and aversion, free from suffering. In this way, we exist in joy. Joy always exists. Indira Parsons, angel reader, The Clear and Simple Way, 2008
