Do not extinguish the lamp of Divine Grace and do not let the candle of wisdom die out in the darkness of lust and error.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit.
This is true knowledge: to seek the Self as the true end of wisdom always. To seek anything else is ignorance.
The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
