To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance, and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance of others, by expressing in the world of forms – truth, love, purity and beauty – this is the sole game which has any intrinsic and absolute worth. All other happenings, incidents and attainments can, in themselves, have no lasting importance.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark - the real tragedy of life, is when men are afraid of the light

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation and that is called loving. Well then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it, that hurts, nothing else.
Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.
Man emulates earth Earth emulates heaven Heaven emulates the way The way emulates nature

This we know: All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We did not weave the web of life, We are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
