It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
To cultivate a garden is…to go hand in hand with Nature in some of her most beautiful processes.

When a man honours his father and mother, God says, “I regard it as though I had dwelt among them and they had honoured me."
