All ups and downs help you to find a balance in your being. No more ups and downs, but bliss, joy, silence and gratitude.
Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.
Only when service for a common good is the primary purpose are you truly leading.
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.
Nothing I say can explain to you divine love. Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
