Delusion is a sort of demonic force. People’s original mind is pure but it becomes perverted due to delusion and other karmas.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
