Thoughts and Meditations

Khalil Gibran

What the soul longs for, is attained by the spirit.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Longing and achieving are given to different parts of a person. The soul does the wanting, while the spirit does the reaching. It suggests our deepest desires aren't fulfilled by yearning alone but by some more active inner force that carries us there.
